A huge percentage of white voters are suburbanites and Trump is in the tank with suburbanites.
Ann, it is not only Trump who has gone mental
More than half of white voters are females and nearly 7 out of 10 females will not vote for Donald Trump.
If this statistic is true, how does Trump keep winning so many primaries?
Favorability ratings show very little correlation to actual voting. Guess who had the highest favorability ratings going into the Fl primary? Rubio. Who has the highest favorability rating right now in WI? Kasich. Look at the Marquette crosstabs. Election after election, Congress has favorability ratings in the gutter, and yet the vast majority vote their congressmen and senators back in every time.
It’s counterintuitive, I know, but it’s a fact. Voters know they’re not voting for prom king. They’re voting for a rat bastard whom they hope will go to DC and work for their interests, and most act accordingly.
ABC did an analysis on March 15th about how women are actually voting in the primaries: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-boasts-success-women/story?id=37661711. The takeway: favorability ratings aside, at the ballot box, Trump has been beating Cruz with women.
I just took an internal poll, my wife and two daughters are all voting for Trump. None of them have ever voted, ever!
