'It's a big, big swing': Trump loses ground with white voters

[brooklynite]

Politico

Donald Trump is making modest inroads with Latinos. Polls suggest he’s pulling slightly more Black support than in 2016.

But Trump is tilting at the margins with those groups. His bigger problem is the demographic that sent him to the White House — white voters, whose embrace of Trump appears to be slipping in critical, predominantly white swing states.

In Minnesota, where the contest between Trump and Joe Biden had seemed to tighten in recent weeks — and where both candidates stumped on Friday — a CBS News/YouGov survey last week had Trump running 2 percentage points behind Biden with white voters, after carrying them by 7 points in 2016. Even among white voters without college degrees — Trump’s base — the president was far short of the margin he put up against Hillary Clinton there.

It’s the same story in Wisconsin, where Trump won non-college educated white women by 16 percentage points four years ago but is now losing them by 9 percentage points, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll. In Pennsylvania, Biden has now pulled even with Trump among white voters, according to an NBC News/Marist Poll.

1. Where does

Politico get their numbers? Saw today on Morning Joe that Latinos overwhelmingly favor Biden 70 something to 28. Blacks with similar lopsided numbers. Trying to make a horserace.

2. Biden

I think the point is that in relative terms, Latinos are supporting Biden a bit less than they did Hillary. But this relative drop is much more compensated with Donnie’s larger loss of support among whites.
