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.

7. Clinton forgot how she campaigned in 2000.

Content: Sure, mathematically, no slippage with black voters, no third-party bleed among young voters in particular and juicing the Latino vote would have meant Clinton could have won despite a white, working-class cratering (more on that below). But that's not realistic, considering the election didn't take place in a vacuum. The declines are interrelated. POST GRADUATES
Post-graduates went by a slightly wider margin for Clinton than Obama: 2012: 18% of electorate, 55-42 Obama
2016: 18% of electorate, 58-37 Clinton
This furthers the distinct education gap in this election, especially among whites. 5. Whites without college degrees have fled to the GOP. They were a group Democrats used to compete with.
