Trump has changed that--he's splintered white voters along educational lines.

I'd have had to start going door to door and smacking people if they went for Trump.

Leads rather than dominates perhaps would be less charged with sexual innuendo.

Guess somehow leads doesn't give the numbers justice.
That's the #'s just for that specific group.
Add in other ethnic groups of women, degreed or not, and Trump has severed the GOP's hopes of female voters.
This group was about the only hope they had.
Thanks for being such a d Trump !

Here's how he breaks it down:

Women w/ degree: Clinton +30

That's what I want to know.

In 2012, Mitt Romney nationally carried whites by +20.

I suspect that Donald Trump is down to +8 to +12 with overall whites. (Men are more influential with the margin.)

The only group of voters that will go out to vote for Donald are white males. But even within that group, the voters with college degrees generally support Hillary, effectively leaving Trump with the angry, uneducated white male vote. But that won't be enough for him to have a chance to win, unless his minority outreach is somehow successful, which is highly unlikely.

Man, Trump's campaign is truly a dumpster fire. Actually, the term Trumpster fire is more befitting for that joke of a campaign.
