How many non southern Goldwater-Wallace voters were there?

[Hydera]

Anybody know if they ever conducted state wide exit polls back in 1968?

Im sure these voters exist and obviously not as much as LBJ-Wallace voters but it would be interesting to know exactly the percentages of these voters.


Also to note any Goldwater-Humphrey voters as rare as they were.

One district in or near Chicago voted 67-33 for Kennedy in 1960, 60-40 for Johnson in 1964, and 35-43-22 for Nixon in 1968-- so assuming Wallace drew equally from Johnson and Goldwater supporters, about 9% of the total electorate.

I believe I read this in the Emerging Republican Majority, written in the late 1960s.

There were clearly some in the Mormon Corridor. Idaho in particular, and most of this vote appears to have gone for Schmitz in 1972.

I find it interesting that any religious minority would support the populist Wallace.

Wallace didn't bash Mormons. But in any case, I know for a fact that southern Idaho had a very strong level of racism back then, and Camas and Custer were the only non-southern counties besides Emmons ND that flipped from Kennedy to Goldwater. I'm not as familiar with what racial attitudes were like in Utah, Wyoming, or Nevada.

Could also have been some Daley electoral shenanigans going on there tbh but yes those are some very curious results

Looks like something similar to Lipinskis district?
Although IL 03 now is trending D due to increasing hispanic turnout.

These votes were a direct protest against the Fair Housing Act of 1968.  Martin Luther King came to Chicago specifically to address the issue of Fair Housing and Open Housing in Chicago.
