Pew Research: Trump Boosted Hispanic Support in 2020 Election, Lost Ground with Blue Collar White Men

Former President Trump boosted his support among Hispanic Americans in the 2020 election but the gains were not enough to make up for losses with blue collar white American men, Pew Research Center analysis reveals.
Trump, with a pro-police message and attacks on globalism, made gains among Hispanic voters, specifically those without a college degree, the analysis finds. For example, while Trump won just three-in-10 college-educated Hispanics, he won 41 percent of non-college-educated Hispanics compared to President Joe Biden’s 55 percent.
The gains among Hispanic voters for Trump did not make up for the former president’s losses with non-college-educated white men — a critical component of his 2016 populist-nationalist coalition.
While Trump won non-college-educated white voters in 2020 at around the same level as 2016, 65 percent to 64 percent, Biden outperformed failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with the demographic group, getting 33 percent support compared to Clinton’s 28 percent.
Most significantly, Trump took a hit with non-college-educated white men in 2020 who backed him by 66 percent compared to Biden’s 31 percent. That 35-point margin is much less than the 50-point margin Trump won with the demographic group in 2016 when 73 percent of non-college-educated white men backed him to Clinton’s 23 percent.
Non-college-educated white voters represent 42 percent of the American electorate, making them the most untapped voting base for populist-nationalist Republican candidates in the United States. Previous analysis has estimated that about 47 million non-college-educated white voters were not registered to vote before the 2016 election.
