Working-class white women are turning on Trump

LA Times  

Demonstrators at the Arizona Capitol in Phoenix joined in support of those in cities around the globe protesting against President Trump in 2017. “These women are also cross-pressured, because they are surrounded by Trump-supporting men in their lives.” Four years ago, Trump won among white women of the working class — which pollsters typically define as people without a college degree — by a 27 percentage-point margin over the white woman at the head of the Democrats’ ticket, Hillary Clinton, according to exit polls. “With 44% of the vote, it would not be possible.” Surveys in some battleground states have found Biden not just slashing Trump’s lead among working-class white women but overtaking him. He’s going to get us fair pay, he is going to protect women’s rights.” Ruy Teixeira, a political demographer at the liberal Center for American Progress, said it might be hard for Trump to win back working-class women because they not only tend to favor more liberal policies than men, but they’ve also tired of Trump’s behavior. But women are more likely than the men to have concluded he’s a divider, not a uniter.” With Trump struggling to hold on to the working-class women who voted for him, he surely won’t win back Republicans like Teresa Frey, 60, a Navy veteran in Lapeer, Mich., who voted for Clinton in 2016 and cannot imagine coming back into the party fold to vote for Trump.
