Analysts say the GOP will have to change their platform to appeal to women and minorities

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Polls revealed President Obama lost a huge majority of white men voters, but women and minorities made up for that loss.

After looking at how women and minorities played a role in President Obama's reelection, analysts say the GOP need to take notice to these growing demographics, which is growing rapidly.

If they plan to win the votes of women and minorities, analysts say the GOP will have to rework its approach to social issues.

"My opinion, they're looking more at their pockets than trying to help out the common people or just people in general," said Andrea Vargas. She supported President Obama after his stance on immigration reform.

"Poverty and minority may not be the most important issues to republicans," Nanci Murray said.

It's these type of comments analysts are pointing out to republicans.

Jon Meacham, a political analyst, said republicans will have to be more open to more than just the white vote if they plan to win future elections.

"They have to look at the issues that matter to those groups, which I hesitate to even formulate that way because the issues that matter to those groups, should matter to us," he said.

Meacham also said Democrats appear to be more in touch with issues important to the younger generation than Republicans.
