SOME VOTER DEMOGRAPHICS REGARDING U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Pew Research Center conducted a survey (15. - 26.6.2016) where people were asked the following question: "If you had to choose between __ who would you vote for?"

When asked to choose between the two leading candidates, 51 % chose Hillary Clinton and  42 % chose Donald Trump. (In another question people were asked to choose between three candidates, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Gary Johnson    - I will analyze those results later)

Here are some notable demographic differences:
