Pollster says biggest differentiation in female support for Trump is education
Pollster Michael Cornfield said Friday that the biggest differentiation in female support for President Trump is whether they come from white, working-class backgrounds.
"The swing there is education level, which is to say Trump made his biggest gains among women from Democrats, among working class or women without a college degree," Cornfield, co-director of the George Washington University Poll, told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on "Rising."
[...] Sixty-three percent of women said they disapproved of Trump, while 30 percent said they approved, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll.
The numbers have the potential to not bode well for Trump ahead of the midterms, which have seen a record number of female candidates.
Fifty-four percent of women voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, while 42 percent voted for Trump.
However, Trump beat Clinton by 27 points among women without college degrees.
One craves such a poll on the more/less educated in the Ellison/Wardlow AG contest. The guess here, obvious (Dunces for Doug), but it would be damned nice to see agreement in somebody's polling. Or contradiciton, that other possibility could result.
MPR? Strib? PiPress? MinnPost? Somebody, please DO IT!
It is not a hard poll to word neutrally, and to report. Survey both genders for added interest. And do the breakdown, high school, BA, advanced degree, professional licensed practice. With a large enough sample size such categories could be broken down into age segments. The young, as a group might because of age be less concentrated in advanced degree categories, yet getting into possible hair-splitting when no numbers exist is premature.
This seems a poll crying out to be conducted, if there ever was one.
