The Optimal Obama Supporter...

...would be a black male under 30 with a college degree.

Well, that's the conclusion I grab from this cool like widget from the NY Times that looks at how the different groups voted... It shows some very clear obvious trends.

Like,

  • Men like Obama - Women like Clinton.
  • Blacks like Obama - Whites like Clinton.
  • The young like Obama - The old like Clinton.
  • Graduates like Obama - Non-Graduates like Clinton.
The income is less clear, it's moving slightly in the expected direction (rich like Obama - poor like Clinton) but it's not as clear cut. The poor seem quite divided, the West Virginia poor like Clinton by 65% and the Maryland poor like Obama by 41%. As you move up to the income scales the results become a little more centralised.
