Here’s what we know from 5 decades of black voting data]Here’s what fewer people haver tried to untangle: How do race and class intersect to shape Americans’ political views? At lower income levels, Latinos are to the left of whites, and are both more liberal and more likely to be Democrats. In all, our data set has 13,724 black respondents and 11,258 Latino respondents, including individuals at the highest income levels. As the chart shows, class has little to do with the divisions between whites and African Americans. In other words, African Americans and whites are widely divided, ideologically and in political party, at every level of prosperity.
