Despite getting only 41.8% of the total vote in the Pennsylvania Gubernatorial race, according to NBC’s exit polling, Doug Mastriano beat Josh Shapiro among all male voters, 50%-48%. Among white male voters, Mastriano won by 55%-43%
NBC also reported that although Mastriano didn’t win the total vote within any age group, he lost by far less among older voters versus younger ones.
Among all voters 65 and older (who represented 34% of the total), Shapiro won by 51%-47%. Compare that to voters under 30 (who only accounted for 12% of the electorate). They went for Shapiro 71%-27%
Excluding the 65+ group, Mastriano won about 39% of the total vote. He ran 20% better among the 65+ group compared to all the other age groups.
This means that among white male voters 65 and older, Mastriano appears to have won more than 60% of the vote.
According to NBC, Shapiro won 63% of the total female vote, which means he ran more than 30% better among women than men. Among all women under 30, Shapiro appears to have won more than 90% of the vote.
