Line 110: ==American politics== In the 2006 election, the USW led a ~~massive~~ political mobilization program that eventually grew to include 350 full-time political organizers in 26 states, a majority of whom were rank and file USW members who took time from work to organize their communities and educate fellow union members. The USW turned out some 5,000 USW volunteers on Election Day, including over 1,000 each in the key states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Exit polls suggested union families made up 23 percent of the total vote and supported Democratic candidates by a substantial 32 percent margin, 65 percent to 33 percent. Based on these numbers, the United Steelworkers, in conjunction with the rest of the labor movement, took substantial credit for the eventual Democratic victory.<ref name="06election">Press Release: [http://www.usw.org/usw/program/content/3533.php "Unprecedented USW Voter Turnout Effort Highlighted Trade and Economy,"] {{Webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511144227/http://www.usw.org/usw/program/content/3533.php \|date=May 11, 2008 }} November 8, 2006.</ref> The USW endorsed [[Barack Obama]]'s presidential campaign<ref name="Obama">Press Release: [http://www.usw.org/usw/program/content/4622.php "United Steelworkers Endorse Senator Barack Obama for President,"] {{Webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121113958/http://www.usw.org/usw/program/content/4622.php \|date=November 21, 2008 }} May 15, 2008.</ref> and re-election,<ref name="Obama2012">Press Release: [http://www.usw.org/media_center/releases_advisories?id=0514 "Steelworkers Endorse Barack Obama for Re-election as President,"] {{Webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720104837/http://www.usw.org/media_center/releases_advisories?id=0514 \|date=July 20, 2012 }} March 6, 2012.</ref> [[Hillary Clinton]]'s presidential campaign,<ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://www.usw.org/blog/2016/clinton-receives-two-major-union-endorsements\|title=Clinton Receives Two Major Union Endorsements\|work=United Steelworkers\|access-date=August 25, 2017}}</ref> and [[Joe Biden]]'s presidential campaign.<ref>{{Cite web\|title=USW Endorses Joe Biden for President\|url=https://m.usw.org/news/media-center/releases/2020/usw-endorses-joe-biden-for-president\|website=United Steelworkers\|date=May 20, 2020 \|access-date=2020-08-31}}</ref>
