preliminary review

[Tom Lehman]

I got the AFL-CIO Labor 2000 preliminary review of the general election
yesterday.

According to the AFL-CIO, union households composed 26% of the
electorate.  Union households voted  59% for Gore, 37% for Bush and 4%
for others.

In AFL-CIO union member households, according to the AFL-CIO, Gore got
63% of the vote, Bush got 32% of the vote, Nader got 3%, and that means
others got 2%.

So, it looks like Bush got a pretty good chunk of the union vote and
well within the usual range, although somewhat on the lower end of what
a Republican usally gets of the union vote.

Note to Seth & Co., Peter Hart's name was dropped in the review copy I
got.
