Looking at those maps, Hillary should be winning iowa. Unless white men overwhelming outnumber everyone else.

He's not leading in the larger cities or college towns but Iowa still has a lot of rural areas, is mostly white, is aging and only 25% of population has a college degree.

According to these maps Clinton is winning Iowa among all whites, white women, college educated whites, and non educated whites. She is losing with white men. That doesn't seem to add up to a trump lead

Can men handle the vote? (kidding)

Happy to see that Minnesota stays Blue except when the vote is limited to men. I wonder if there is someway we could relocate the state to New England or the west coast. Apparently we fit in better in those areas.

I realize that either way the patterns would be very similar, I'm just curious where the numbers come from.

And pretty disgusted with my fellow white males too.
