FT analysis of this week’s election results paint a dire picture for the Democrats

Artiklens hovedpointer

Børsens ansvarshavende chefredaktør Bjarne Corydon anbefaler denne artikel fra Financial Times fordi:
Amerikansk politik er under fundamental forandring. Det kan være fatalt for både virksomheder og stater at fejlvurdere årsagerne.
Næsten alle medier forsøger at forstå valgresultatet. Med data dokumenterer Financial Times blandt andet, at Trump nu repræsenterer flertallet af de amerikanere, der tjener mindre end gennemsnittet, mens Demokraterne er partiet for de bedst stillede.

Donald Trump’s win gave Republicans their highest share of the popular vote in two decades — and revealed big shifts in the US electorate, from the Democratic party’s reliance on wealthier, college-educated voters to the power of issues such as immigration.
