Who Is Voting For Trump?

"I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them." — Pauline Kael, 1972

"I began to ask everyone I met: Do you know anyone who supports Donald Trump? In more cases than not—actually, in nearly all the cases—the answer was no." —Byron York, 2016

Two factors explain 60 percent of all the variance in Trump's support across 227 New Hampshire voting precincts:

Cook Partisan Voting Index: For every 1 percentage point more liberal the precinct, Donald Trump's share of votes rises by 0.48 percentage points.

College attendance: For every 1 percentage point more college graduates over the age of 25, Donald Trump's share of votes falls by 0.65 percentage points.

Household income and population are insignificant statistically or substantively. Here is a visualization of Trump voters as both moderate and low-education, where I split the 227 precincts into PVI and education quintiles:

I didn't say anything about anyone here. Only the 3 people I know voting for Trump. And the only insult I put out there was calling my neighbor somewhat racist, and I will never back away from calling one of them out.

So you're saying that all Trump voters are "somewhat racist."

Good riddance, GOPe.  This took way too long for me to see the true nature of the establishment GOP and its voters.

No one I know personally is voting for Trump.

Every conservative among my family and friends, to a person, regardless of age or gender, are repulsed by him.  I have had conversations with a number of them and again, to a person, they don't understand how anyone would vote for such a vulgar, despicable human being.

I don't either.  I'll never understand the attraction to a nasty, insulting, childish misogynist, who is arrogant beyond words, and at the same time unable to take any criticism himself.

I will never understand this phenomenon, and I pray that it doesn't destroy what's left of this once great country.

Maybe you have a crappy hearing piece like Trump wore Sunday. I NEVER said such a thing.  My sister and her husband who I also mentioned are not racist.   So what are you going to do now , come back and say I said one third of trump supporters are racist?

Why did you include that you called your Trump-supporting neighbor a racist if it had nothing to do with their support of Trump?  How are they racist?  Does he wear a Klan hood around the block?

Facts are facts.  Most Trump supporters in NH were low-educated moderates.
