A man wears a hand-lettered "Build the Wall" t-shirt while waiting in line for a campaign rally with Donald Trump in Portsmouth, New Hampshire February 4, 2016. Of course, that's why Trump's pitch worked in the primary: He was saying what a lot of Republicans wanted to hear. Most importantly, college-educated whites viewed Trump's ideas less favorably than did non-college-educated whites, just as the former group now views Trump less favorably than the latter. In July, we asked voters if they wanted a president who supported a path to citizenship. The number among white Americans was 84 percent, with 40 percent of white Americans strongly favoring a path to citizenship.
