In part, it seems, that's the result of a movement among college-educated white men. Whites with college degrees have consistently preferred the Republican to the Democrat in presidential races, according to exit polling. The Post's James Hohmann called white college-educated women Clinton's “firewall” in polling, which is probably true. But white college-educated men seem to be a swing group here. As Nate Cohn of the New York Times points out, there's no evidence that the “hidden vote” is among Trump's core base of support, non-college-educated white men.
