Can't be. All the msm is talking about today, is all the white uneducated voters that voted Trump.

He’ll have to drop out now (another few times)

He’s way behind

He’ll never catch up

Hillary is outpolling him by a mile

He’s just too brash, a real mean guy...

And now...

Introducing, President Elect Donald J Trump.

He never gave up.
And neither did his supporters!!!

How can we know this exact percentage?

I will say that I do believe he got a large percentage of the Cuban-American vote.

Cuban Americans are the third largest Latino group in the United States. The 2010 US Census shows that 85% report as being white" and nearly 70% of all Cuban Americans live in Florida per the 2010 census.

Trump also received the majority vote of white women - 53%.

To be fair, I haven't looked at the numbers, so I don't know whether any of those sorts of conclusions are warranted. But the stat you are citing doesn't prove what you think it proves.

Whites overwhelmingly supported Trump in this election, and it is still almost certainly true that a college education made one less likely to support Trump in this race.

I think you are being a little tricky presenting your analysis. He received an overwhelming majority of white non-college votes. But he still received a majority of white college grad votes which is something many do not want to hear. They want a pure division.

Republicans showed their true colors yesterday. They don't care about small government, they just want to win for the big oil companies, Walmart, and Coca Cola.
