Catholic immigrants from Eastern Europe who congregated in neighborhoods such as Slavic Village, St. Clair, and Tremont came out in droves for Smith. While Hoover remained popular among Cleveland’s Black community, Smith was the first Democrat to make inroads there.

Trumbull County swung roughly 8 points to Democrats from 1980, attributed to the Republican Party’s hostility towards labor unions and Reagan’s handling of the steel industry collapsing.
Neighboring Mahoning County (Youngstown), was Mondale’s strongest county in Ohio.

Smith was strongest with German Catholics in the city’s East Side and Elliott District, Italians in the Lower West Side, Irish dockworkers in the First Ward, and Polish immigrants in the Broadway-Fillmore district. This coalition would later keep Buffalo Democratic for decades.

Hoover’s main strength came from English Canadians, upper-middle-class neighborhoods surrounding Delaware Park, Croatians & Hungarians in Riverside, and African Americans in the Fruit Belt, although Smith started to make inroads in this community.

Two years later Thompson would publish his reporting on the 1972 Presidential election in the famous “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72”.
McGovern was able to flip Pitkin Co., a sign that the area was becoming more and more progressive.

The Freak Power platform was immortalized in The Rolling Stones article “The Battle of Aspen”. His platform included disarming the police, decriminalizing drugs, changing the name of Aspen to Fat City, and changing the roads to sod to get rid of traffic, among other things.
