The Odd YearsThis pollster predicted Trump's surprising 2024 coalition. How's it holding up?Back in 2023, Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini wrote a book that laid out a path for how the party could win future elections with a working class multiracial coalition.Later that year, Amy talked with Patrick on this very podcast where they discussed whether Trump could expand his base to include those voters of color.

By 2024, it was down to just 78% white.So we wanted to have Patrick Ruffini back on for a conversation about how well that same coalition...2025-07-2251 min

We dive right into last week’s results, starting with how and why non-white voters shifted so much towards Trump. We cover the “cosmopolitan trap” that Democrats have fallen into—focusing solely on issues that motivate white voters with a college degree—and why the Harris campaign over-indexed on abortion and democracy. Will Democrats finally have a “Sister Souljah” moment? Who might emerge as the face of a change...2024-11-1543 min

The Ezra Klein ShowThe Book That Predicted the 2024 ElectionTo understand the 2024 election results, it helps to go back to 2020. Donald Trump lost the election that year, but he made significant gains with nonwhite voters. At the time, a lot of Democrats saw that as a fluke, a hangover from Covid lockdown policies. But the Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini saw it as bellwether.In his 2023 book, “Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP,” Ruffini argued that Trump was ushering in a party realignment. A trend that had been happening for years in the white electorate – college-educated voters moving to the left, and no...2024-11-091h 01

Trump is back. Back again. He's secured the Electoral College majority needed to become America's 47th president and looks on track for a popular vote majority—the first Republican to pull that off in more than 20 years.
A New York Times breakdown shows that across just about every type of county—urban, suburban, older population, younger, white, black, Latino—Trump improved his numbers.

For proof, they point to the difficulty Trump has had winning over many voters in his own party during the Republican primaries.

In the past, Democrats and Republicans at least understood why members of the other party liked their chosen candidates. Most conservatives weren’t confused why liberals liked Barack Obama, and vice versa for George W. Bush. But for a lot of Democrats, it feels impossible to imagine why anyone would cast a vote for Trump.

So why have we seen these recent shifts to the right and what will both parties do to either capitalize on or reverse these trends?In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, Galen speaks with two authors w...2023-11-1650 minSomebody's Gotta Win with Tara PalmeriRumblings in New Hampshire, and a Multi-Racial Republican Coalition?Tara kicks off the episode by chatting with New Hampshire political insider Matthew Bartlett about the latest polls coming out of the Granite State, before bringing on Republican Party pollster and political strategist Patrick Ruffini to break down the growing support for Donald Trump among working-class voters of color.For more of Tara's reporting, please sign up for her newsletter, 'The Best & The Brightest', at puck.news/tarapalmeri and use the discount code TARA20.Host: Tara PalmeriGuests: Matthew Bartlett and Patrick RuffiniProducers: Devon Manze and Conor Nevins 2023-11-1650 min

What the Hell Is Going OnWTH Happened To Patriotism, Faith and Community in America? Patrick Ruffini Explains the Decline in Key Values that Made Us Who We AreThe priorities that have traditionally shaped American national character – patriotism, religious faith, family, community involvement – are no longer as important to most Americans. The Wall Street Journal reported this trend in a viral poll, but the sentiment is believable even without the stark statistics. This poll was conducted in 1989, 2019, and now in 2023, and the only value to go up in importance? Money. Our guest explains that there is necessary context for the reported numbers due to methodology, but the overall trend is undeniable: we are becoming an increasingly selfish country. And what is to blame? Perhaps it is the echo...2023-04-1951 min
