See, e.g., Gregory Hywood, “Democrats Seek Market Formula,”
Australian Financial Review
, March 2, 1988 (“In the 10 elections since Mr Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1932 victory, no Democratic candidate has received more than 50 per cent of the white vote. In the past five elections, only one candidate—Mr Jimmy Carter in 1976—received more than 40 per cent.”); and Stephan Thernstrom and Abigail Thernstrom,
America in Black and White: One Nation, Indivisible
(New York: Simon & Schuster, 2009), 291 (“Few Americans realize it, but the Democratic party would have lost every presidential election from 1968 and to the present if only whites had been allowed to vote. Jimmy Carter carried only 47 percent of the white vote in 1976, but was elected because his 83 percent support from blacks more than made up the deficit. Bill Clinton did even worse among white voters, getting only 39 percent of their vote in 1992 and 43 percent in 1995. But Clinton, too, got five out of six black votes and that was enough to give him wins over George Bush in 1992 and Bob Dole in 1996.”).

                  
Between FDR and Johnson’s rout in 1964, only two Democratic presidents were elected: John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman. Kennedy won 49 percent of the white vote to Nixon’s 51 percent. “Election Polls—Vote by Groups, 1960–1964,” Gallup,

Truman won a bare majority of the white vote at about 47 percent to Dewey’s 44 percent, but Truman captured two-thirds of the black vote, carrying him to electoral victory. See Manning Marable,
