Assessing further demographic disparities, Kornacki said, “In this election, Trump won by 12 points among men and Harris won by 8 points among women, making the gender gap 20 points.” For the third consecutive election, the gap between men and women has been at least 20 points. We see it in terms of marriage, with married voters strongly favoring Trump and singles strongly favoring Harris. ”

Mr. Kornacki said Mr. Trump won 34 points among white voters without a degree, compared to 8 points for Ms. Harris among white voters with a degree.

“This is over 3,100 counties, and think about the demographic disparities in which President Trump is excluding blue-collar voters and voters, white voters without college degrees. Many rural, population-based counties across the country. You can see that in counties with fewer people. Look at this red,” Kornacki added.
