I guess the polls are saying that some college grads that voted for trump in 2016 are turning against him. In my my first job out of college - a time when I did bring up politics a bit - my small team in the IT department was three for Reagan, against me, for Mondale. We were in Iowa, but 3 of us were from Minnesota. I was just completely - I suppose naively - dismayed. I don’t have a good recollection, but I suppose it was “the Economy”, taxes, two of them being self-proclaimed Christians, and one being from a family that owned an insurance agency in a small town, that explained it. I’m just a natural born democrat.
