(3,660 posts)1. Likely just a fluke, MS whites are R 5 to 1
Now there is a large black population of course but likely not large enough. MS gets very little polling so hard to be quantitative in these discussions, but GE precedent is pretty consistent.

If white non-college graduates do not vote - and I don't believe they will turn out in any heavier numbers than in the past - then Trump is going to lose massively as white college graduates and minorities are backing Clinton this year.
