Michael, do you have racial breakdowns of union member votes for  
Democrats and Republicans?  What have been proportions of white union  
members who voted for Republicans and what does the historical trend  
of their votes look like?

no longitudinal data...

2000 annenberg election survey had 54% of white union members voting
for gore, in contrast to 54% of whites as a whole voting for bush (survey
had 93% of african-american union members voting for gore, compared to
90% of blacks as a whole)...

2004 peter hart survey done for afl-cio had white male union members voting
21% pts higher for kerry, in contrast to white males as a whole voting 18% pts
higher for bush (white women union members voted 35% pts higher for kerry
over bush)...   mh
