Donald Trump's support comes from every Republican ideology but not every class

The divide between the GOP's blue-collar and white-collar wing has shown up repeatedly in polls throughout the election season. It's clearly on display in new findings released Friday by SurveyMonkey, the online polling firm, which has been tracking the electorate since early this summer.


Trump's support varies little by ideology. His backers closely mirror the distribution of very conservative, conservative and moderate voters within Republican ranks, SurveyMonkey's data show.

That's a contrast with some other candidates. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, for example, draws heavily from the party's most conservative faction and does poorly with moderates. Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, does well among moderates but poorly among those who call themselves very conservative.

Instead of an ideological division, Trump has taken advantage of the sharp class divide among Republicans. He has consolidated support of the party’s blue-collar, non-college-educated wing, while the party’s more affluent, college-educated voters remain split among several candidates.

These are the Reagan democrats.
