How did Reagan Democrats vote post Reagan?

I remember people who fit The Media's description of "Reagan Democrats" were actually the most anti-Reagan folks around. Today they still vote Democratic.

I don't know why suburban Cincinnati would be different from someplace else.

I remember in the era of Mondale and Dukakis a lot of people telling me the only time they ever voted Republican was Nixon in 1972. They voted for Mondale and Dukakis, but not McGovern.

Wallace in the end only received something like 13% of the vote mostly from southern states, but for awhile he was polling around 30% and had significant support in many midwestern states and even liberal states like Massachusetts.

I do remember that some of the "Nixon Democrats" I talked to in my day thought Wallace was a backwards joke. I'm pretty sure the "Nixon Democrats" I knew were for Humphrey in '68.

I remember reading that McGovern lacked labor support that other Democrats had. I think he was against "right-to-work" per se, but he voted against repealing Taft-Hartley.
