| NOTES: | |||||
| National figures are based on actual election outcomes, re-percentaged to exclude minor third-party candidates. Demographic data are based on Gallup Poll final pre-election surveys, re-percentaged to exclude "no opinions" and support for minor third-party candidates; results are then weighted to conform with actual election results. |
