New polling: Eroding support from white working-class women threatens Trump's reelection

Source: Brookings Institution

Although it has received less attention, Trump’s waning support among women with less than a college degree may prove just as important as his eroding support among older voters.

As far back as the 2018 midterm elections, commentators began suggesting that support for Trump was dwindling among white non-college women. The latest ABC/Washington Post survey shows that this shift may be intensifying. Although support for President Trump among non-college men stands at 71%, as high as it was four years ago, his support among non-college women has fallen by 11 percentage points, from 61% to just 50%, the poll finds. Hillary Clinton lost this group to Donald Trump by 27 points in 2016. Today, Joe Biden trails him by just 6. If this pattern were to persist through November, it is hard to see how the president could win reelection.

He is so out of touch with the American people. A lot of suburban moms kids are out protesting today all over the country. And Mom tells them be careful and stay safe. But I get it why you have to get out. That creep in the White House is evil and needs to go.
