Racism Backfiring-Plurality of *non-college white women* say they definitely *won't* vote for Trump.

Here's a really striking finding from the new Quinnipiac poll:

A plurality of *non-college white women* say they definitely *won't* vote for Trump.

This strongly suggests Trump's racist attacks are backfiring.

Quinnipiac sent me the numbers:

Waiting to see what they do, not what they say.

In the meantime, I'm focusing on turning out the base - I trust them.

I'm assuming the "He can grab my pussy if he wants to!" crowd is in that demographic.

2/3rds of non-college white males will vote for him.

Trump's embrace of racism seems to not be a problem for many white voters.

not necessarily even voting blue, though that would help, would be a revolution.
