If you’re still wondering how Donald Trump pulled an inside straight and won the 2016 presidential election over Hillary Clinton, here are some statistics to chew over:
* Wyoming (70 percent) and West Virginia (69 percent) gave Donald Trump his largest percentage of votes among all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Hillary Clinton’s top percentages came from Washington, D.C. (93 percent) and Hawaii (62 percent). Texas gave Trump the most votes (4,677,115), while California furnished Clinton with her highest total (5,481,885).
* A majority of the wealthy – those making $100,000 a year and above – voted for the Democratic presidential ticket for the first time since 1964. Although Barack Obama won eight of the 10 richest counties in the country in 2012, Clinton bested him in just about every one of those counties this year.
* According to exit polls, the percentage of people ages 18-29 voting for the Democratic presidential ticket fell from 60 percent in 2012 to 54 percent in 2016. The percentage of those the same age voting for the Republican ticket stayed the same at 37 percent.
* Despite Trump’s derogatory remarks about women, exit polls show 1 percent fewer women backed Clinton in 2016 than voted for Obama in 2012. Two percent fewer backed Trump than backed Mitt Romney in 2012.
