"content": "\u003cp>Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s remarkable for all sorts of reasons: He has no governmental experience, for example. And many times during his campaign, he said things that inflamed large swaths of Americans, whether it was talking about grabbing women’s genitals or calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” and playing up crimes committed by immigrants, including drug crimes and murders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now, it’s also remarkable because almost no one saw it coming. All major forecasters predicted a Hillary Clinton win, whether moderately or by a landslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don’t know just yet why pollsters and forecasters got it wrong, but here’s what made this electorate so different from the one that elected Barack Obama by 4 points in 2012. To be clear, it’s impossible to break any election results out into fully discrete demographic groups or trends — race, gender and class are interconnected, impossible-to-disentangle phenomena. But, for now, here’s what the exit polls, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/national/president\">as reported by CNN\u003c/a>, do tell us about a few of those trends that handed this election to Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Men backed Trump\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women’s voting preferences haven’t shifted much since the time when they preferred Obama by 11 points. However, men swung more heavily Republican, by the latest exits. In 2012, men preferred Mitt Romney by 7 points. This year, they preferred Trump by almost double that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exact counts are still likely to shift a bit but, right now, 24 percentage points separate America’s women from America’s men in the latest exit polls — that is, women preferred Clinton by 12 points, while men preferred Trump by 12 points. If that ends up being the final tally, it will be the largest gap measured by exit polls since at least the 1950s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Non-college-educated whites, in particular, love Trump\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump specifically appealed to whites during this election, and they clearly preferred him at the polls — right now, his margin of victory among them is roughly the same as Romney’s in 2012, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/race/president/\">which was 20 points\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a massive fissure between college- and non-college-educated whites. Romney won non-college-educated whites by 26 points, according to polling data \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/08/501069216/5-exit-poll-numbers-to-watch-on-election-night\">provided to NPR\u003c/a> by the Pew Research Center. Currently, exit polling shows Trump’s margin among that group to be roughly 1½ times that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, college-educated whites appear to have preferred Trump slightly, according to current exit poll figures (which, once again, could still shift some). That would mean Trump moderately underperformed Romney, who won this group by 14 points, according to the data from Pew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that would still essentially be a win for Trump, considering that at one point, it looked like Trump might be the \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-may-become-the-first-republican-in-60-years-to-lose-white-college-graduates/\">first Republican in decades\u003c/a> to lose white, college-educated Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Clinton failed to perform in key counties\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton underperformed Obama — sometimes heavily — in key counties in swing states. For example, Obama beat Romney by more than 381,000 votes in Wayne County, Michigan — by far the state’s most populous county. Clinton beat Trump there only by around 287,000 votes, meaning there’s a more than 90,000-vote gap between her win and Obama’s win there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Cuyahoga County, Ohio — home to Cleveland — Trump drew about 4,500 fewer voters than Romney did in 2012. However, Clinton drew almost 37,000 fewer, giving her a much smaller win there than Obama scored in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, where it appeared Trump had a much bigger early lead (as we reported earlier), the gap closed considerably as the hours wore on, to around 6,700, by the latest data. Likewise, Clinton trailed Obama’s margin in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, by around 10,000 votes. Those aren’t huge gaps, but they do reflect the broader national trend of Clinton losing a bit here, a bit there … adding up to a loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Conservatives don’t seem married to traditional conservatism\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, the numbers for conservatives are looking about the same this year as they did in 2012 — that is, around 80 percent of them went for the Republican candidate in both elections. And in both, they made up just over one-third of the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, then, Trump is not at all the kind of conservative that Romney was; indeed, he’s not at all a traditional conservative. Trump has rejected free trade agreements, called for \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/03/us/politics/trump-clinton-infrastructure.html\">up to $1 trillion\u003c/a> in government spending on infrastructure, and introduced a tax plan that could balloon the debt by $7.2 trillion in one decade, \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/analysis-donald-trumps-revised-tax-plan\">by one estimate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes it pretty clear that Trump voters weren’t driven by far-right ideology (unless many self-proclaimed conservatives had big changes of heart since 2012). Trump’s populist, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/01/494249104/trump-and-the-testosterone-takeover-of-2016\">overtly masculine\u003c/a>, anti-PC appeal helped him vault past Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the GOP controlling both the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/09/500711970/republicans-keep-control-of-the-senate-as-democrats-largely-falter\">Senate\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/06/500939010/2016-house-election-results-for-congressional-races\">House\u003c/a>, the question now is how Trump will square his brand of conservatism with that of his congressional counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Those leery white evangelicals? They weren’t so leery after all\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, the polls show that 81 percent of white, self-described evangelicals voted for Trump. That doesn’t look too different from 2012, when 78 percent of white, born-again Christians (a term that pollsters often use in place of, or in conjunction with, the term “evangelical Christians”) chose Romney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which is to say that despite \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/01/500183772/evangelicals-face-a-gender-split-over-trump\">white women evangelicals’\u003c/a> apparent reluctance to choose Trump, and despite some evangelical leaders’ arguments against Trump, this group in the end didn’t shift much at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump did well among voters who didn’t really like him\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’d think that when people see a candidate unfavorably, they’d vote against that candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t happen this year — at least, not the way it did in 2012. In 2012, 94 percent of voters who saw Obama unfavorably chose Romney. Likewise, 92 percent who saw Romney unfavorably chose Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Amy Walter pointed out at the Cook Political Report Tuesday morning, 77 percent of voters who saw Trump unfavorably voted for Clinton; 15 percent of those people still voted for him. The numbers were slightly less stark among Democrats — only 82 percent of people who saw Clinton unfavorably chose Trump; 11 percent chose her anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Update: \u003c/strong>This post was updated at 8:32 a.m. with the section about Trump and Clinton’s favorability numbers.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

And many times during his campaign, he said things that inflamed large swaths of Americans, whether it was talking about grabbing women’s genitals or calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” and playing up crimes committed by immigrants, including drug crimes and murders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now, it’s also remarkable because almost no one saw it coming. All major forecasters predicted a Hillary Clinton win, whether moderately or by a landslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don’t know just yet why pollsters and forecasters got it wrong, but here’s what made this electorate so different from the one that elected Barack Obama by 4 points in 2012. To be clear, it’s impossible to break any election results out into fully discrete demographic groups or trends — race, gender and class are interconnected, impossible-to-disentangle phenomena. But, for now, here’s what the exit polls, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/national/president\">as reported by CNN\u003c/a>, do tell us about a few of those trends that handed this election to Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, men swung more heavily Republican, by the latest exits. In 2012, men preferred Mitt Romney by 7 points. This year, they preferred Trump by almost double that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exact counts are still likely to shift a bit but, right now, 24 percentage points separate America’s women from America’s men in the latest exit polls — that is, women preferred Clinton by 12 points, while men preferred Trump by 12 points. If that ends up being the final tally, it will be the largest gap measured by exit polls since at least the 1950s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Non-college-educated whites, in particular, love Trump\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump specifically appealed to whites during this election, and they clearly preferred him at the polls — right now, his margin of victory among them is roughly the same as Romney’s in 2012, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/race/president/\">which was 20 points\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a massive fissure between college- and non-college-educated whites. Romney won non-college-educated whites by 26 points, according to polling data \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/08/501069216/5-exit-poll-numbers-to-watch-on-election-night\">provided to NPR\u003c/a> by the Pew Research Center. Currently, exit polling shows Trump’s margin among that group to be roughly 1½ times that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, college-educated whites appear to have preferred Trump slightly, according to current exit poll figures (which, once again, could still shift some). That would mean Trump moderately underperformed Romney, who won this group by 14 points, according to the data from Pew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that would still essentially be a win for Trump, considering that at one point, it looked like Trump might be the \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-may-become-the-first-republican-in-60-years-to-lose-white-college-graduates/\">first Republican in decades\u003c/a> to lose white, college-educated Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Clinton failed to perform in key counties\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton underperformed Obama — sometimes heavily — in key counties in swing states. For example, Obama beat Romney by more than 381,000 votes in Wayne County, Michigan — by far the state’s most populous county. Clinton beat Trump there only by around 287,000 votes, meaning there’s a more than 90,000-vote gap between her win and Obama’s win there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Cuyahoga County, Ohio — home to Cleveland — Trump drew about 4,500 fewer voters than Romney did in 2012. However, Clinton drew almost 37,000 fewer, giving her a much smaller win there than Obama scored in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, where it appeared Trump had a much bigger early lead (as we reported earlier), the gap closed considerably as the hours wore on, to around 6,700, by the latest data. Likewise, Clinton trailed Obama’s margin in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, by around 10,000 votes. Those aren’t huge gaps, but they do reflect the broader national trend of Clinton losing a bit here, a bit there … adding up to a loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Conservatives don’t seem married to traditional conservatism\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, the numbers for conservatives are looking about the same this year as they did in 2012 — that is, around 80 percent of them went for the Republican candidate in both elections. And in both, they made up just over one-third of the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, then, Trump is not at all the kind of conservative that Romney was; indeed, he’s not at all a traditional conservative. Trump has rejected free trade agreements, called for \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/03/us/politics/trump-clinton-infrastructure.html\">up to $1 trillion\u003c/a> in government spending on infrastructure, and introduced a tax plan that could balloon the debt by $7.2 trillion in one decade, \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/analysis-donald-trumps-revised-tax-plan\">by one estimate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes it pretty clear that Trump voters weren’t driven by far-right ideology (unless many self-proclaimed conservatives had big changes of heart since 2012). Trump’s populist, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/01/494249104/trump-and-the-testosterone-takeover-of-2016\">overtly masculine\u003c/a>, anti-PC appeal helped him vault past Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the GOP controlling both the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/09/500711970/republicans-keep-control-of-the-senate-as-democrats-largely-falter\">Senate\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/06/500939010/2016-house-election-results-for-congressional-races\">House\u003c/a>, the question now is how Trump will square his brand of conservatism with that of his congressional counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Those leery white evangelicals? They weren’t so leery after all\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, the polls show that 81 percent of white, self-described evangelicals voted for Trump. That doesn’t look too different from 2012, when 78 percent of white, born-again Christians (a term that pollsters often use in place of, or in conjunction with, the term “evangelical Christians”) chose Romney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which is to say that despite \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/01/500183772/evangelicals-face-a-gender-split-over-trump\">white women evangelicals’\u003c/a> apparent reluctance to choose Trump, and despite some evangelical leaders’ arguments against Trump, this group in the end didn’t shift much at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump did well among voters who didn’t really like him\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’d think that when people see a candidate unfavorably, they’d vote against that candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t happen this year — at least, not the way it did in 2012. In 2012, 94 percent of voters who saw Obama unfavorably chose Romney. Likewise, 92 percent who saw Romney unfavorably chose Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Amy Walter pointed out at the Cook Political Report Tuesday morning, 77 percent of voters who saw Trump unfavorably voted for Clinton; 15 percent of those people still voted for him. The numbers were slightly less stark among Democrats — only 82 percent of people who saw Clinton unfavorably chose Trump; 11 percent chose her anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Opponents say the real purpose is to skew the electorate with more young liberal voters. The split is generally along ideological lines, with liberals supporting the measures and conservatives against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, if you want a real adult discussion about Proposition F, look no further than Lyndsey Schlax’s social studies class at Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts. The class recently had a discussion on the measure, and while all the students are either 16 or 17, they had very different opinions about expanding youth voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students in the class have jobs and believe that should give them the right to vote. Others say kids would be too easily swayed by their parents or Facebook feeds. Student Sam Travers says San Francisco would be a great test case for youth voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘Here would be a perfect place to experiment, because I think the youth are very educated and active in politics and social issues.’ \u003ccite>High school student Sam Travers\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Here would be a perfect place to experiment, because I think the youth are very educated and active in politics and social issues,” Travers says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take someone like student Isaac Schott. He brought a book of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy to class, and he quotes freely of the Founding Fathers. He opposes Proposition F.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think children very often overestimate their own importance and their own ability,” Schott says. “In Plato’s ‘Republic,’ one of the principal things it warns against is an excess of democracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isaac’s teacher, Lyndsey Schlax, points to the high-level discussion as one more example of why her students are ready to vote. She thinks youth voting would be a boon for society, and especially in San Francisco, where so many young voters are transplants who came for work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They arrive here, and they don’t have necessarily a huge engagement with the community,” Schlax says, “but our students do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, Proposition F has a lot of support from elected officials, including all members of the city’s school board. But it was high school kids like Oliver Sanghvi York who got the ball rolling on Proposition F. You can watch\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/10/24/should-high-school-students-under-18-be-allowed-to-vote/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> this little video \u003c/a>we made of students working to get out the vote for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>York says the real goal of the proposition is to increase voter turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hope is that if we can get students in the habit of voting while they are embedded in their communities, they will become lifelong voters,” York says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If history is any indication, that won’t happen, says Vanderbilt Law School professor Jenny Diamond Cheng. In 1971, when the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18, Cheng says it caused only a brief spike in turnout. Today, young people have the worst participation rates of any age group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheng says we should be wary about lowering the voting age because it can have unintended consequences, like providing more justification to prosecute youths like adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lowering the voting age arguably gives young people more representation,” Cheng says. “It also may jeopardize some of the protections they have just because they are young.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, both liberals and conservatives have supported youth voting. Cheng says in the 1950s, conservatives wanted to lower the voting age to 18 because young people were conservative. Then, she says, in the ’60s it became a liberal cause because, well, hippies. Today, young people still trend liberal, and critics say the real motive of Proposition F is to skew the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘My son would want to vote.

He brought a book of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy to class, and he quotes freely of the Founding Fathers. He opposes Proposition F.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think children very often overestimate their own importance and their own ability,” Schott says. “In Plato’s ‘Republic,’ one of the principal things it warns against is an excess of democracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isaac’s teacher, Lyndsey Schlax, points to the high-level discussion as one more example of why her students are ready to vote. She thinks youth voting would be a boon for society, and especially in San Francisco, where so many young voters are transplants who came for work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They arrive here, and they don’t have necessarily a huge engagement with the community,” Schlax says, “but our students do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, Proposition F has a lot of support from elected officials, including all members of the city’s school board. But it was high school kids like Oliver Sanghvi York who got the ball rolling on Proposition F. You can watch\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/10/24/should-high-school-students-under-18-be-allowed-to-vote/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> this little video \u003c/a>we made of students working to get out the vote for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>York says the real goal of the proposition is to increase voter turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hope is that if we can get students in the habit of voting while they are embedded in their communities, they will become lifelong voters,” York says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If history is any indication, that won’t happen, says Vanderbilt Law School professor Jenny Diamond Cheng. In 1971, when the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18, Cheng says it caused only a brief spike in turnout. Today, young people have the worst participation rates of any age group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheng says we should be wary about lowering the voting age because it can have unintended consequences, like providing more justification to prosecute youths like adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lowering the voting age arguably gives young people more representation,” Cheng says. “It also may jeopardize some of the protections they have just because they are young.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, both liberals and conservatives have supported youth voting. Cheng says in the 1950s, conservatives wanted to lower the voting age to 18 because young people were conservative. Then, she says, in the ’60s it became a liberal cause because, well, hippies. Today, young people still trend liberal, and critics say the real motive of Proposition F is to skew the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘My son would want to vote. He would also like ice cream for breakfast.’ \u003ccite>Political science professor Jack Pitney\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Claremont McKenna political science professor Jack Pitney believes so.

Many hope Proposition F passes. But it’s not up to them. They aren’t old enough to cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"description": "Thousands of people are homeless in San Francisco, and even more throughout the Bay Area. Despite years of concern and millions of dollars of investment, the problem persists.\r\n\r\nWho are the people who live on the streets and on the edge of homelessness? Why have we failed to create lasting change? And are there solutions that offer hope for the future? \u003cstrong>As part of a collaboration with dozens of Bay Area news organizations, KQED is exploring these questions, and more.\u003c/strong>",
