John King Points out that Nikki Haley Is Winning in Places Where College Educated Voters Dominate

EXCERPT:

KING: “We‘ll pull up Wake County, right? Look what just happened. She‘s getting nearly 57% of the vote. Look at the difference. The percentage of college graduates goes up to 64%, right? Hard to follow as I switch around. So I‘m going to leave this up here, leave this up here, that‘s Wake County, I‘m going to move over here to Durham County, right? Again, 59% of the people have college degrees, Nikki Haley winning with 57% of the vote. Then you move up, then just pick one here. Donald Trump‘s winning here with 81% of the vote. Look what just happened, right? The percentage of college degrees drops way, way down. It is the single biggest dividing line in American politics, period, right now. And we‘re watching that dividing line play out in a fascinating way in the Republican primaries, where Donald Trump is marching to the Republican nomination. But among voters with a college degree, a bachelor‘s degree or higher, who tend to live in suburban areas across America, he has a giant problem. And many of them were the Republicans who elected Glenn Youngkin governor of Virginia, George W. Bush, the last Republican before Donald Trump elected president of the United States. Those are the kind of voters they are, but they are voting more and more Democratic in general elections. A lot of them are voting for Nikki Haley tonight. And again, as we watch Donald Trump‘s considerable strains, and I do not want to understate them, they are many, as he marches here toward the nomination, he has some big holes, big holes. And is North Carolina a battleground state? We'll see when we get to November, but a lot of people like that live in suburban Milwaukee, live in in suburban Detroit, live where you‘re from, around the collar counties, around Philadelphia. There's a lot of voters just like that. And Donald Trump, for all his strengths, still has a glaring weakness with them."
