Uh, yes, it does. And you don't have to pull some third-level derivative measure to show it as you did. Most likely because everything else you found when look said the opposite. lol But if you want to go that way we can. e.g.
Quote
By race. Seventy-three percent of white men said they were certain to vote, compared with 70 percent of whites overall. Among non-whites, the rates were much lower, with 55 percent saying the same. That's a much lower rate than in 2012 for non-white voters, which was itself down from 2008. Bear in mind, there are more non-white people eligible to vote now than there were eight years ago. As we've pointed out before, the electorate in 2014 was as diverse as it was in 2008.
Most alarming to Clinton supporters may be that only 44 percent of Hispanics said they were certain to vote in November. (Without data for that group from 2008 and 2012, it isn't shown on the chart above.)
By age. Here we can see the pattern above. Voters ages 30 to 39 have become much less likely to say they're certain to vote, while only half of those younger than 30 said in the most recent poll that they were certain to do so. Older voters are more likely to be committed to turning out in November.
By education and income. These two groups overlap to some extent (which is to say that income and education levels are correlated). Those who earn more and are more educated are much more likely to be committed to voting in November.
But let's dive into why this is a problem for Clinton, in case it wasn't already obvious: The groups that are less likely to say they're certain to vote are also groups among which Clinton does better.
Overall, slightly more Donald Trump supporters say they're certain to vote than are backers of Clinton. Seventy-six percent of Clinton backers say they're certainly or probably going to vote in November; 84 percent of Trump backers say the same.
