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.
