"His base will love it,but the very voters he needs - white,college-educated women - will not,"she said."It will hurt him."
Polls show Trump and Clinton virtually deadlocked among all voters,but Clinton has far greater support among women. Among likely voters who are women,Clinton leads by 19 points,55 per cent to 36 per cent,according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Sunday. It found Clinton up 2 points overall among likely voters.
Trump is currently losing among likely white women voters with a college degree by 25 points,according to the same poll. In 2012,Republican nominee Mitt Romney won that group by six points. Trump's deficit among white,college-educated women is unprecedented in exit polls going back to 1980.
