The same cannot be said of white voters, who are more evenly divided between the major parties. There were more registered voters who described Trump as honest and trustworthy than those who said the same about Clinton. White voters have been participating in presidential elections in declining numbers since the 1990s. Some of these folks are still staging protests outside the convention center and outbursts of protest chant inside the convention hall. But unlike Trump, Clinton's existing coalition — eligible voters of color, college-educated and left-leaning white voters — when combined with some newly registered voters is just big enough to deliver the White House.
