Will changing demographics affect the 2018 midterms?

William H. Frey

Demographics in the United States are changing rapidly, as growth explodes among minority populations and slows within the white population. Brookings Senior Fellow William Frey, author of “Diversity Explosion: How New Racial Demographics are Remaking America,” explains how the demographic transformation of the United States affects voting patterns and could impact the results of the 2018 midterm elections.



What you need to know:

  • The United States is undergoing profound demographic changes. There is huge growth in racial minority populations, especially new minorities—Hispanics, Asians, and people of two or more races. This growth has exploded over the last 10 to 15 years.
  • Counter to that is very slow growth, and soon decline, in the white population, which is aging very rapidly. The only part of the white population that is growing is the over-age 65 population, as Baby Boomers move into that age group.
  • These changes are affecting voting in the United States. Most of the minority populations, especially African-Americans, have voted strongly Democratic for the last 10 years or so. In fact, the black population has voted Democratic going all the way back to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
  • In the last 10 or 15 years, we have also seen relatively strong Democratic support among Hispanics.
  • Asians voted Republican in the 1990s but that changed after 2000 and has continued in all the presidential and other elections since then.
  • The majority of the white population has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1968.
  • States that are becoming more racially diverse, or having fewer whites proportionately and more blacks, Hispanics, and Asians proportionately, tend to vote more Democratic, which has been the case in the last three presidential elections.
  • “White anxiety” refers to white Americans’ concern over the changing demography of the United States—the fact that we are becoming more racially diverse. This is especially prevalent among older whites who think of America as a different kind of place racially than it is becoming with the growth of immigrants and racial minorities.
  • In 2016 Republican candidate Donald Trump’s message, which included many negative feelings toward racial minorities, fanned the flames of white anxiety and influenced the voting patterns of older whites.
  • Millennials—a younger and more diverse generation—have taken a larger part in elections, and could influence results if they turn out for the midterm elections.
  • This “cultural generation gap”—older whites vs. younger minorities—will play out and eventually younger minorities will have a much bigger say in elections going forward.

白人老化、年輕少數族裔增加 人口消長牽動選舉

包括西語裔、亞太裔選民過去15年的增長,白人人口比例的逐漸減縮,美國新人口圖像將重塑美國,也可能顛覆過去的投票行為,牽動即將到來的期中選舉選情。

華府智庫布魯金斯研究院資深研究員佛里(William Frey)在15日發布的報告「多元爆炸 : 新的族裔人口組成如何重塑美國」指出,「新少數族裔」(New Minorities)在過去15至20年間增長顯著,反之白人人口老化和成長停滯、甚至負成長,唯一成長的年齡層是65歲以上戰後嬰兒潮。佛里的「新少數族裔」是西語裔、亞裔和兩種以上的混血族裔。

佛里認為,「老白人v.少數族裔年輕人」的「文化代溝」(cultural generation gap)現象,說明美國族裔人口消長和新貌,對政治和選情的影響,將越來越大。年輕而更多元的千禧世代,如果多數都出來投票,將牽動期中選舉結果。

佛里研究各族裔的投票政黨傾向表示,非裔選民一向傾向民主黨,在民權運動後更甚;西語裔向民主黨靠攏雖不若非裔明顯,但分析西語裔最近15至20年的投票行為發現,年輕世代較支持民主黨;至於亞裔,雖然90年代以前多投共和黨,但2000年以後則向民主黨傾斜。至於白人選民,佛里說,1968年以後的每一次總統大選,支持共和黨都占多數。

從每一族裔的人口消長和投票傾向來看,佛里認為,從選舉結果和人口調查研究,至少2016年大選,白人選民擔心,尤其年紀較長的選民,擔憂人口版圖變化讓白人優勢不再,對少數族裔移民增加,影響白人投票決定。

佛里也發現,根據過去三次總統大選選民分析,族裔越多元、白人比例越少的州,多民主黨候選人取勝。而2016年大選,川普團隊解讀人口變化而提出「讓美國再偉大」口號,乃是企圖說服白人選民再回到50年代的人口組成狀態。
