Obama performance with white voters on par with other Democrats

Excerpt:

Expanding on our election autopsy report in First Thoughts this morning about the white vote, since 1976, Democrats have never won white voters. Jimmy Carter, a Southerner, came the closest in 1976, winning 48% of it. Since then, Democrats have ranged from 34% (Walter Mondale in 1984) to 44% (Bill Clinton in 1996). Obama, in his first election, won 43% of the white vote, the second-highest number for a Democrat since Carter.  His 39% in 2012 puts him further down the list of Democrats in the last 10 elections, but only slightly below the average 40. 6% share for Democrats through the years.
