Based on the given table of voter turnout by race and ethnicity across the four presidential elections (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016), let's analyze the trends for each statement and determine which are true.
1. The percentage of Non-Hispanic White voters decreased between 2004 and 2016.
We need to compare the percentage of Non-Hispanic White voters in 2004 and 2016:
- 2004: 65.8%
- 2016: 64.1%
Since 64.1% (2016) is less than 65.8% (2004), this statement is true.
2. There were more Black voters in 2008 than in 2004.
Here, we compare the percentage of Black voters in 2008 and 2004:
- 2004: 56.3%
- 2008: 60.8%
Since 60.8% (2008) is greater than 56.3% (2004), this statement is true.
3. The number of Hispanic voters from 2004 to 2016 has gone down.
To verify this, we check the percentage of Hispanic voters in 2004 and 2016:
- 2004: 28.0%
- 2016: 32.5%
Since 32.5% (2016) is greater than 28.0% (2004), this statement is false.
4. The highest percentage of Asian and Pacific Islander voters turned out for the 2004 election.
We should find the highest percentage of Asian and Pacific Islander voters across all years:
- 2004: 29.8%
- 2008: 32.1%
- 2012: 31.3%
- 2016: 33.9%
Since the highest percentage (33.9%) was in 2016 and not in 2004, this statement is false.
Therefore, the true statements based on the given data are:
- The percentage of Non-Hispanic White voters decreased between 2004 and 2016.
- There were more Black voters in 2008 than in 2004.
The trends for voter turnout by race and ethnicity across the four presidential elections can be summarized with these correct statements:
```
[True, True, False, False]
```
