My turn for the Hillary Hangout!
We are definitely stronger together!
I found this information in this Politico piece from July 9th. This is the part I really liked reading because it's my demo - college educated white women:
Given the growing diversity in the electorate, Clinton’s hand is stronger. But there are also segments of white voters that are resistant to Trump and are a key component of Clinton’s coalition: better-educated whites, and white women.
Clinton leads Trump among white college graduates in a new Pew Research Center poll out this week, 52 percent to 40 percent. As FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten wrote this week, Trump is poised to become the first Republican since Barry Goldwater to lose white college voters.
Similarly, Clinton leads Trump by 10 points among white women, 52 percent to 42 percent. That’s another key Republican constituency: Mitt Romney won white women by 14 points in 2012.
That makes white, female college graduates the epicenter of this phenomenon. Clinton leads them by a huge margin, 62 percent to 31 percent, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
I’m so happy that this poll shows her having a huge lead with white, female college graduates. For so long this demo has gone GOP. It’s always irked me! I hope this trend continues through November.
Next stop ….. Unity!
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders appearing together tomorrow in New Hampshire.
While cautiously optimistic about this event, I am in the “what took so long” camp. But if we can unify before the convention, that would be great!
Here is an interesting tweet from Joy Reid:
Does this point to a failure of proper training for new recruits? Or is this the result of what the FBI report in 2006 talked about in this piece from 2015: an infiltration of white supremacists in law enforcement?
The Hillary Hangout is open to all! However, if you have criticisms of the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, please express them respectfully. Now let's chat and have a great day!
