A new report by demographics expert Ruy Teixeira finds significant demographic advantages for Democrats heading into the 2016 presidential election, the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Based on demographic shifts alone, the report finds that if the 2016 Democratic nominee performs as well as Mr. Obama did in 2012 with various voter groups, she (or he) would win by six percentage points—up from Mr. Obama’s four-point win last time.”
