On today’s political map the West is home to some key battleground states — including Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada and New Mexico. Western states include many of our nation’s most prized public lands, enabling people from all over the country to explore, challenge themselves and enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. In 2016, our Winning the West polling showed that Western voters expect a balanced approach to managing conservation, recreation and responsible energy development. The results from 2018 show the same voter commitment to balance. For 2018, we took a new approach to slicing the data. In addition to our traditional reporting of the results by regional and partisan demographic breaks (included in the first half of the deck), we wanted to introduce you to some different segments of the Western
the finding that public lands are important to the West across demographic lines — political, regional and more. Politicians interested in winning the West should take note that these voters are paying close attention to their positions on public lands issues.

The Ticket Splitter, a focus of the 2016 Winning the West campaign, remains an important component to the Western electorate. They comprise about a quarter to a third of the electorate in the five states where we polled. If you want to win the West, you can’t ignore the importance of ticket splitters. Ticket splitters enjoy the outdoors and support the protection of public lands. If you win the ticket splitting vote, chances are good that you will win the election.
We’ve singled out these seven important voting groups. These groups are less partisan and less ideological than traditional partisan or political breaks like Republican or Democratic voters. These seven key groups are all persuadable, in one way or another, meaning a politician would be smart to listen to these groups when trying to build a winning coalition in the West.

The Millennial Parent represents the future of the West in multiple ways. They are young adults ages 22–36, and many are in their first stages of their careers while building a life for their families. As they get older, their positions on Western issues will continue to influence the Western political landscape. While these millennials are finding their own way, they are also raising the next generation of Western voters, making them an important influencer for their children, and the communities in which they live. While they only make up about 6% of our voter sample, the Pew Research Center reports that this generation is 29% of the US population and more than a million millennials are becoming moms each year in the US. They care about public lands and the future for their children. The Empty Nester in our survey is a Baby Boomer without children living in the home, ages 53 to 71. This group of voters may be retired or thinking about retirement. As we know, the West has become a very popular retirement destination. This voting group comprises about half of our sample and will continue to be important for years to come. Public lands are important to their way of life in the West.

The Angler and Hunter cares deeply about the West and Western
care about access to public lands and conservation. Without conservation there wouldn’t be anything left to hunt or fish. The Casual Outdoor Recreation Enthusiast (CORE), makes up about two-thirds of the Western electorate. If you like to take nature walks, hike, camp or bird watch, you are a CORE voter too. This group is important because they actively participate in outdoor activities that any of us can do. They are passionate about the outdoors and public lands too.

The Cable News Watcher is defined as those voters who get their news primarily from any of the major cable news outlets. They make up more than half of the electorate in our survey. They are an important audience as they are easily reached through ads on the very networks they watch to stay informed. The Social Media User is anyone who uses the major social media platforms on a regular basis; most of them are Facebook users. Social media has changed the way voters inform themselves about important issues. Social media has changed the way that campaigns engage with voters. These social media voters make up almost three- quarters of the Western electorate.
