White Voters Flee As Trump's Core Support Starts To Collapse

[ffr]

According to the latest ABC News/Washington Post Poll:

Notably, among other groups, Trump’s not significantly ahead of the Democratic candidates among whites – a group he won by 20 points in 2016. About nine in 10 blacks and roughly two-thirds of Hispanics back the Democrats, similar for these groups in recent presidential elections.

Instructive among whites are preferences by gender and education. Trump is solid among non-college-educated white men...
<snip>

The groups that are fleeing Trump are college-educated white men and non-college educated white women. Trump has hollowed out his own base of support and winnowed it down to non-college educated white men, Republicans, and conservatives. - PolitiusUSA

Coattails for democrats in the senate too? Let's hope voters will vote straight ticket DEMS!

[Brainfodder]

1. I love the uneducated!

He looks in the mirror a lot, eh?

[NewJeffCT]

2. I'm hoping a lot of them

end up staying home and sitting on their hands if polls show Donny Dollhands losing bigly

[dem4decades]

3. White voters flee? That's all he has. The Trump voters I've seen are doubling down.

Maybe they can't admit their foolishness and will vote for America in the booth, I hope at least.

[CrispyQ]

6. I have four relatives who voted for him & admitted it.

Two have gone silent & two are doubling down. The two doubling down are openly religious. The other two, I have no idea how they feel about religion.

[Raster]

13. ...two are openly religious...

Disclosure: Born and raised as a Mormon, and now an atheist, and I do NOT understand how religious people can support the most anti-christian POTUS ever. This is a man that represents just about every sin, from adultery to sloth, from greed to gluttony. And still the so-called religious kneel before him.

[progressoid]

15. Abortion and homosexuality.

As long as he opposes those, he'll be supported.

[moose65]

24. I guess

The great irony there is that Trump really doesn't give a shit about abortion. If one of his wives or mistresses or whores needed an abortion, he wouldn't think twice about paying for it and making it happen.

[progressoid]

26. Yep.

And those evangelicals would just give him another mulligan.

:large

[keithbvadu2]

30. White evangelicals - heavy on the white.

White evangelicals - heavy on the white.

[MarcA]

19. God, guns, gays, abortion, immigrants.

Authoritarians whose god is power and looks and acts like them.

[moose65]

23. You and me both!

I will never, ever understand how these so-called "good Christians" can support the most amoral, repulsive, rotten-to-the-core man I've ever had the misfortune to lay eyes on. If a Democrat did 1/1000000 of what Trump has done, they would condemn him/her/them and there'd be no atonement possible.

[Initech]

22. Most of the people I know who are still defending this monster are religious.

Or at least they claim to be. Which really says a lot about the religion.

[Mr.Bill]

29. All the ones I know simply say

"My 401K is doing great". They have no other argument for supporting him and refuse to discuss it. I hate to wish for it, but if the stock market crashed, and I mean big time, Trump wouldn't have 10% support.

[maryellen99]

36. My husband's is doing well but I know that it can change

Still not voting for the SOB. Unlike trump voters, I don’t worship criminals.

[Turbineguy]

4. Whodda thunk it?

There are other white people you can vote for! Besides, you vote for trump and you put yourself in the same crew as the box-of-rocks, dumb-as-hammers, morons who would rather be Russians than Democrats.

Is it still true that the longest line is Moscow is the wait to use the toilet at McDonald's?

[Wellstone ruled]

5. So Moscow Don is now down to his

22% of the White Folk as his base?

[tblue37]

8. Complacency killed the Dems in 2016. Register new voters, fight voter suppression, GOTV,

and vote as though we are 20 or more points down everywhere.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Oh how well I know.

Here in Vegas we have a major Voter Registration Ground game in motion as well as each Primary Candidate is running a Registration informational Door Knocking campaign.

[lunatica]

10. Or vote simply cause it's a kick in their nuts.

Vote because you want to see such a huge avalanche fall on them that they’ll scurry back under the rock they came from.

That works for me. I will vote just to tell future generations that I voted against him. I’m voting because it’s the patriotic thing.

[Martin Eden]

7. How does that square with polls showing the key battleground states ...

.. are still up for grabs?

[OliverQ]

11. Meh, not buying these articles.

62% of Trump supporters have said absolutely nothing he could do will make them change their mind. It's a cult.

[Kingofalldems]

17. Meh, I am. I think it's great.

[ScratchCat]

12. Once again....

Trump's "base" didn't elect him. Rank & File Republicans who didn't want Hillary Clinton to be President elected him. His "base" isn't large enough to elect anyone, as its about 15% of the population and about half the GOP at best.

[The Mouth]

31. But about 30 percent of the people who show up to vote

That is the ONLY group of Americans that matters, in the end- the people who vote.

Someone can be a Godly, loving, sweet person, say the nicest things about our candidates, put up lawn signs, whatever, but if they don't actually *VOTE*.......

[ooky]

14. These non-college white men we keep hearing about so much lately must be

the dumbest species on the planet. 🐑

[aggiesal]

18. Duh! I believe men in general are the dumbest species on the planet, and I'm male. ...

We are complete idiots!

[modrepub]

34. It's Not Our Fault

We’re missing over half a chromosome as my mother has pointed out

[ooky]

35. Apparently it all went to the brain. nt

[MarcA]

20. LBJ said something about making them feel better than

any black person and they wouldn't mind if you took all their money.
Not just non-college educated and true to different extents in most societies.

[Boomer]

21. Not dumb, just mean

[Corgigal]

28. They are envious.

Lots of people can be, but they really don’t like it when someone they perceive as below them, are doing better then them.

My father in law would lose his mind. He’s pass now, but I think his whole life was worrying what other do. Silly ass shit.

[Nature Man]

32. Hit up any exurban or rural sports bar/biker bar/dive bar on Saturday night

and you'll see a bunch of them there.

"Master Race" my ass!

[Thekaspervote]

16. They are beginning to see him as the loser he really is. His base will put up with a lot but they

Don’t like losers!

Hope he continues to go to sporting events and gets booed.

[moose65]

25. That's true

And that's what Trump fears the most. If he is perceived as a loser, they will abandon him in droves, and will claim that they never supported him. May it be so!!

[Thekaspervote]

37. Exactly!!

[dalton99a]

27. His cult will stay with him to the end

Basically hardcore racists and dead-enders who get their news from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. they're not conservatives, they're angry anti-democrats

Conservatives conserve. The cult of the GOP destroys.

[pstokely]

38. but where?

where it matters?
