Racial identity politics may cross class lines, and race and ethnicity have been key in U.S. voting patterns, as has gender more recently. Religious values and identity have also played a key role in U.S. politics. Students can describe the way recent voting patterns have broken down on various dimensions, for example differences between married and single women or between black evangelicals versus white evangelicals.
