Trump Trails Romney's 2012 Numbers With White Votersby DANTE CHINNI at NBC

"SNIP..............
For Donald Trump to win the presidency there is one thing he absolutely must do. He must outperform Republican Mitt Romney's 2012 numbers in some key demographic group.
Four years ago Romney lost the presidential race Barack Obama. Meeting Romney's margins with white voters, or African-Americans or Hispanics won't do it for Trump. The GOP nominee has to do better and the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll says he is not - at least not yet.
The latest NBC/WSJ poll shows that across the three main racial/ethnic groups in the electorate - whites, African-Americans and Hispanics - Trump is not getting the numbers he needs.

OP
For some reason, pollsters think whites w/o college degrees will swarm the polls for Trump.

cast their vote for t-rump and every POC will stay home.

(35,364 posts)3. This begs for some more splainen. How can Trump be down 9% among all
white voters compared to Romney and down with the black and Hispanic vote and
be almost tied in the polls? The only group he is outperforming is the whites without
college and that is only up 1% over Romney. They figuring only whites will vote?

While they think everyone else stays home. I just don't see that happening.
