What does the 2020 electorate look like politically, demographically and religiously as the race enters its final days?
More than one-third of Black eligible voters in the U.S. live in nine of the nation’s most competitive states.
37% of those ages 18 to 29 say they moved, someone moved into their home or they know someone who moved because of the outbreak.
Around half of Hispanics say they or someone in their household has taken a pay cut or lost a job – or both – because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The drop in employment in three months of the COVID-19 recession is more than double the drop effected by the Great Recession over two years.
90% of the decrease in employment between February and March arose from positions that could not be teleworked.
Those who have not responded to the census so far are likely to be from groups the census previously has struggled to count accurately.
More than 11 million Asian Americans will be able to vote this year, making up nearly 5% of the eligible voters in the United States.
In a growing number of U.S. counties, a majority of residents are Hispanic or black, reflecting the nation’s changing demographics.
The outbreak has altered life in the U.S. in many ways, but in key respects it has affected black and Hispanic Americans more than others.
