7 Reasons Donald Trump Won The Presidential Election
1. Hillary Clinton now has a wider popular vote lead than Al Gore in 2000, but the Electoral College picks presidents.
2. Overall turnout will be about the same as 2012.
3. A significant chunk of voters were dissatisfied with their choice of candidates.
4. Clinton did not fire up the Obama Coalition.
5. Whites without college degrees have fled to the GOP.
The White College/Non-College Divide Was Much Wider This Year
White college graduates favored Trump by 4 points this year, a stark contrast to whites without college degrees, who preferred Trump by 39 points. Compared to past polling data, that suggests that this year’s educational divide among whites is far more pronounced than it has been in recent years.
6. And that leads to what might be the biggest story of the election — Democrats' cratering with blue-collar white voters.

Content: Clinton's popular-vote lead is 668,171 over President-elect Donald Trump, according to the latest totals compiled by the U.S. Election Atlas. Gore got 547,398 more votes than George W. Bush in 2000. Clinton's lead will only likely grow as votes continue to be finalized. Democrats have now won the popular vote in six of the last seven presidential elections, but lost the Electoral College in two of them. This takes place as Democrats continue to migrate to cities and the coasts and where their population is now more concentrated. The constitution mandates the Electoral College picks presidents. The founders created that system in part to avoid the largest states picking "favorite sons" and having outsize influence. 2. Overall turnout will be about the same as 2012. Turnout may even surpass 2012 when all the vote is counted.
