Using data from American National Election Studies surveys, we show that Trump’s unusually explicit appeals to racial and ethnic resentment attracted strong support from white working-class voters while repelling many college-educated whites along with the overwhelming majority of nonwhite voters. However, Trump’s campaign exploited divisions that have been growing within the electorate for decades because of demographic and cultural changes in American society. The 2016 presidential campaign also reinforced another longstanding trend in American electoral politics: the rise of negative partisanship, that is voting based on hostility toward the opposing party and its leaders. We conclude with a discussion of the consequences of deepening partisan and affective polarization for American democracy and the perceptions by both experts and the public of an erosion in its quality. - Reproduced.  aElections - United States97647  aPolitical parties - United States97648  aPolarisation97649  aRacism97650  aMcCoy, Jennifer97645  aThe Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science  aUnited States - Politics and government  2ddccAR  00102ddc40709384112aIIPAbIIPAd2019-08-02h681, Jan, 2019: p.137-156.pAR120127r2019-08-02yAR
