Would Karl Pilkington vote for Trump if he was a USA citizen?
CNN exit polls indicated the Clinton and Obama performed the same among white voters, so I'm not so sure that a bunch of "ignorant racists" made the difference this time.
White voters:
72% of voters in 2012: Obama 39%, Romney 59% (Obama -20)
71% of voters in 2016: Clinton 37%, Trump 57% (Clinton -20)
Clinton did worse among the less educated, however.
Clinton compared to Obama among the less educated (per the 2012 & 2016 CNN exit polls):
High school or less:
24% of voters in 2012: Obama 53%, Romney 46% (Obama +7)
18% of voters in 2016: Clinton 46%, Trump 51% (Clinton -5)
Some college:
29% of voters in 2012: Obama 49%, Romney 48% (Obama +1)
32% of voters in 2016: Clinton 43%, Trump 51% (Clinton -8)
Trump won big among the less educated in the GOP primaries too. He even proclaimed his love for the "poorly educated" during one of his victory speeches.
Which leads me to Karl Pilkington...
