Donald Trump’s key demographic, white men without a college degree, could swing the race for the Republican if they decide to vote in the upcoming election, says Karl Rove, NEWSMAX reports.
In 2012, President Barack Obama won re-election by just under 5 million votes, according to FiveThirtyEight, but 24 million white men with no higher education could have changed the tide, if they had voted. Today, Trump holds the support of the majority of men in that demographic, and getting them to the polls could be the key to beating Hillary Clinton.
“Exit polls from 2012 show that Mr. Romney won 59 percent of white voters, and that whites constituted 72 percent of the turnout,” Rove wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal. “The Trumpers say their man can win by boosting those figures only slightly. Increase the GOP’s share of the white vote a few points, say to 62 percent. Raise the white turnout to 74 percent or 75 percent. Voilà, President Trump.” Read more at NEWSMAX.
