But even with Trump’s gains among men, women still had greater leverage to decide the election’s outcome.
Both the exit polls and VoteCast showed her winning 57% of white women with at least a four-year college degree.
Solid majorities of Black, Latina and college-educated White women described Trump in the exit poll as “too extreme,” as did over two-fifths of the White women without a college degree.
But among the White women without a college degree who described Trump as “too extreme,” almost 1 in 5 voted for him anyway.
Though many women are expressing unease about mass deportation, Trump’s claim that immigrants are driving crime may provide him considerable leeway to pursue his agenda, particularly among the blue-collar White women who proved most receptive to that argument.
