In reply to the discussion: How did 55% of white women vote for Dump? [View all]Buckeye_Democrat
(14,852 posts)15. It depends where you live, I guess.
Every white female coworker, except one, at my previous workplace was a religious Republican-type. Not all of them expressed their support for Trump, but it was pretty clear even for the quieter ones. (The company was in a very red area.)
Edit: Many of those co-workers lived in rural areas and their educations were horrible, especially in science. I have a degree in math with a high IQ, but I usually have to work in blue-collar settings because of low demand for my degree unless it's a minimum of a Master's. (I "went for it" years ago and got burned due to financial circumstances.)

I don't trust exit polling because they don't show how they get their numbers, or where.

Having looked at total voting, @ 67%, accounting for race, your assertion is inaccurate.

I've heard about that poll but need to see other polling with similar stats. I don't see white women

They are willing to ignore their own oppression if they can keep their racism.

Stupidity has no gender bias. That said, an even higher percentage of white men did the same. nt

Everyone attacks exit polls when it doesn't give them a number they agree with.
