Trump underperforms Romney in every group
Then why is the race so close?
Click here for reuse options!… for Hillary Clinton to win, she can’t do significantly worse than Barack Obama did. So what’s keeping this race tight? Both candidates, in different ways, are trailing their 2012 equivalents in key measures. The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found Clinton leading her Republican rival by six percentage points, 43% to 37%, with two lesser candidates nabbing 12% combined. But in a stark illustration of Trump’s challenge, the poll showed him underperforming Romney’s marks among every portion of the population, including among the groups where he will have to rack up truly historic numbers to offset declines elsewhere, particularly among non-white voters.

These are all national polls, and that’s not what counts. The state polls give Trump virtually no chance of winning.

As we already knew, it’s mostly old, white men supporting him. Present company excepted.

That is Trump in a nutshell, claiming simple answers to complex questions

I’m 70 year old white male who wouldn’t support him if he was falling off Trump Towers.
