Donald Trump is struggling to gain the support of women and minorities that he would need to win the U.S. presidential election this fall. But the real reason Trump is trailing Hillary Clinton by such a wide margin is key demographic groups that have traditionally voted for the Republicans are abandoning him. The difference from four years ago is that Trump is down eight points among men and 10 points among women. But among the poorest Americans, Clinton is on track to do worse than her predecessor. And while Clinton is down nine points among decided poorer voters compared to 2012, Trump is down just two points.
