Inspired by @leedrutman's excellent, bookmarkable, 2016 voter study group analysis in 2016, the team at @NavigatorSurvey created a similar chart on it's post-election survey.
There continues to be more people in the social conservative/economic liberal quadrant where the GOP continues to do well than the Acela social liberal, economic conservative quadrant. Though it appears there was more Biden-GOP ticket-splitting going on in the latter group.
The sample size of Biden-GOP voters is tiny so this deserves more study. But from this it appears that these voters were closer to straight Dem ticket voters on coronavirus issues and furthest away on economics (and some cultural issues).
Interestingly, Biden-GOP voters were closest to straight ticket Dems on three issues related to science (mask-wearing, seeking out expert advice, climate change). They were furthest away (though still held very middle-of-the-road views) on minimum wage and police reform.
Those who went for Biden and then GOP down-ballot prioritized the pandemic in their choice for President. Those who went for Trump and then Dem down-ballot prioritized the economy.
The Trump vote is more fractured ideologically on the debates that were tested, which probably means there are other explanations for their vote choice beyond these dimensions. The Biden vote is more concentrated ideologically which creates a challenge for Dems on how to expand.
Anyway, @NavigatorSurvey released three pretty interesting post-election reports on a large-sample poll that was conducted in the days just before and after the election. They are worth a read. Links:
