Trump is increasing his share of college voters.
In 2016, only 36% college grads went for Trump. Among white college grads, the percent was slightly higher (38%). But in 2020, Trump won 37% of college grads and 42% of college whites. Interestingly, the Dems also increased their share of the college vote (57% in 2016 to 61% in 2020), suggesting diminished third party appeal amid the chaos and polarization of 2020.
In 2024, college grads went 57-41 for Biden â the smallest margin among this demographic for the Dems since the pre-Trump days. Trump also won slightly more (1%) college whites than in 2020.
This is a positive development. While some in MAGA deride a college education â and those who obtain one â it is still a prerequisite many important professions. This doesn't mean that people with college degrees are inherently "better" than those without them, just that MAGA is worse off if it alienates doctors, lawyers, etc.
Fortunately, we don't need to choose. Trump also increased his share of the non-college vote by three points (56% in 2024 vs 53% in 2020). This is also a positive development, and it reveals that Trump can win over different groups with the right message â and that winning over the working class isn't mutually exclusive with winning over educated people.
