This is an incomplete picture. Because it's from exit polls it only accounts for those who actually voted. It doesn't take in to account at all those who abstained. And it doesn't list by generation just by 10-year increments. And generations don't fall into neat 10-year increments. At that point in time boomers were anywhere from 20 to 35.

K, but you could say that for any voting generation.

The most-important 2 books on understanding US politics, is Woodard's "American Nations", on the 11 nations inhabiting North America, & how they are stable, once instantiated,

& Thom Hartmann's "Screwed", on what real national-prosperity is ( I've only read the beginning of that, & it's the 1st-time I've understood what's wrong with normal "economics", as presented by everybody else ).

IF one looks carefully, as Woodard did, one can see that the votes follow specific counties that are culturally-aligned, in these 11 nations.

It isn't "all boomers", rather, it is in the Tidewater region, votes went this-way, in the New York region, votes went that way, in Yankeedom, they went this other way, etc..

The book "The Big Sort" is on how polarization is self-creating the ultimate only-political-monocultures US of A.

That, of course, is going to make the US's Civil War Part2 be .. more territorial in its ideological-basis, .. ( & that has implications, too ), but .. it's still down to regional-cultures defining/controlling the US's fate.

Woodard's book is sooo important, that I wouldn't consider moving anywhere in North America without seeing which culture was ruling that county, now.
