Did a post-election survey find that Biden in 2020 gained support from married men and veterans compared to Clinton in 2016?
Compared to Hillary Clinton in 2016, President Joe Biden in 2020 received stronger support from married men and veterans, according to an extensive post-election survey by Pew Research. Pew found various statistically-significant shifts from its 2016 survey, including:
- 44% of married men voted for Biden, versus 32% for Clinton.
- 43% of households with military veterans voted for Biden, versus 35% for Clinton.
Pew did not include data for active-duty military.
Pew’s survey found that a shift in Hispanic support—59% of Hispanics voted for Biden, versus 66% for Clinton—was not statistically significant.
Biden, according to Pew’s analysis, also did about as well with Black voters as Clinton in 2016, winning 92% versus 91%. Blacks are “a unique group of voters for whom the contemporary Republican Party holds no discernible appeal,” a Brookings Institution analysis of the Pew data observed.
