Question

I don't understand this at all, can someone help me?

Answer 1

I think you need to look at which sections supported the elected president. Look at the change in political parties and who supported them.

Answer 2

I think, for example, you'll find that the "solid South" was solidly Democratic BEFORE 1980, now is solidly Republican. What other differences can you find?
