#ElectionTwitter Here's how Dwight Eisenhower performed w/ various demographics in 1952 (1/2):
Whites - 57%
Blacks - 33%
College educated - 66%
High School educated - 55%
Grade School educated - 48%
Professional & Business - 64%
White Collar - 60%
Manual worker - 45%
Farmer - 66%
1952 GOP vote (2/2):
Protestant - 63%
Catholic - 44%
Republican - 92%
Independent - 65%
Democrat - 33%
East - 55%
Midwest - 58%
West - 58%
South - 49%
It appears that I made a mistake with one of the figures. Eisenhower only won 23% of Blacks, not 33%

#ElectionTwitter In this thread, I'll discuss the impact that the World Wars had on German-American voting patterns (fyi, this is an extremely long thread).
German Catholics voted overwhelmingly Democratic at the time, and were concentrated in places like eastern Wisconsin, Stearns county MN, Dubuque IA, Clinton county IL, Dubois county IN, Ellis county KS, and Putnam & Mercer counties in OH.
Protestant Germans tended to be Republican at the time, especially pietistic ones like Mennonites. The GOP did very well with these voters in places like North & South Dakota. Also, Gillespie county in Texas was staunchly Republican as a Unionist stronghold in the Civil War.

#ElectionTwitter Here's a map that I made of Theodore Roosevelt's performance by county as the presidential candidate for the Progressive party in 1912. Roosevelt received 27% of the popular vote, which is the best showing for a third-party candidate in American history. Image
From comparing the 1912 results to the Free Soil Party's performance in 1848, it becomes apparent that Roosevelt won a lot of Yankee-settled areas in the Midwest that were Republican strongholds ImageImage
Roosevelt also did very well with Scandinavian voters, enabling him to win over 50% of the vote in counties like Kittson and Marshall in northwest Minnesota that were majority-Scandinavian, while also winning pluralities in the heavily Norwegian Lake Superior lowland in Wisconsin ImageImage
