So in 4 years time, if Trump has clearly failed in his second term, when Reps blame Biden's economy, the Dems will just blame Trump.

Waaaaaait a second...

Yup and it will be a loosing augments for the Reps just like it a losing augments for Dems.  Blaming a past President for a bad ecomedy under a current President has never been effective whether it true or not.  Both parties have done it in past and I don't believe it has ever been convincing to most Americans.

Hopefully the final numbers in the end make more sense, because otherwise you can't help but wonder.

The bellwethers haven't been wrong in a really long time, besides 2020.

Some really interesting data coming. Gen Z voted for Trump in it's majority, something I would never expect to see. It seems they are not as liberal as progressive as some would say. Also it seems while trump votes are not that far from 2020 and 2016, there were 15 million votes less for Harris compared to Biden. Thats crazy.  

2020 was really.... strange to say the least. Of course saying something was off with 2020 elections is a neo-nazi conspiracy theory fuelled by russian disinformation campaign to destroy democracy and kill squirrels.

Paraphrasing Chris Rock, "I am not saying these people are right in thinking this way, but I understand".

The only way MAGA gets dropped is if Trumps second term is deemed a failure or if a 2028 candidate comes up with something way better.

If Trumps second term goes well (enough) then MAGA will remain. Vance, DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Gabbard, or even maybe RFK could and likely would continue MAGA, though each would obviously make some (small) adjustments/additions.

Still seems pretty racist. All one under the flag and all that... pfft. Perhaps not. 

Looking at the demographic shifts, this election has all the hallmarks of a Nixon 1968-style result that brings about a major, long-lasting shift in the status quo. That being said, it also feels very similar in a lot of ways to John Kerry's loss in 2004, in that it could be an opportunity for the Democrats to get their act together over the next four years and come back when the incumbent hits the term limit.

Basically, either the Democrats can re-establish their connection with voters, find themselves another Obama (hopefully not literally, but Michelle probably would be one of their better options right about now), and turn this into a necessary fail that provides them with a platform for greater success in four years. Or they can double down on what caused them to lose, run another George McGovern next time, and spend the next twenty years in the electoral wilderness.

He didn't, although he managed to swing them a bit vs. the last election. Bush 2000 is still the most recent Republican to win the youth vote.

I'm more surprised by the Gen Y tie since that used to be strongly pro-Obama in the past. Gen X has lead in their brains so the gap is expected and the older votes swung a bit toward Harris, suggesting the economy did play a strong role in the results.

I got a different breakdown, with H 45% and T 52% on the 18-24 bracket, then H 55% and T 43% on the 25-29 bracket.

I wouldnt consider 25-29y people as gen Z but what do I know, these definitions keep on changing all the time.
