Donald Trump's
stunning victory last night, despite the majority of pollsters
predicting a Clinton win, has many voters wondering how he pulled it
off.
A look at four key states –- Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, and North
Carolina –- highlights trends that helped trump clinch 278 electoral
votes (and counting).
HOW MEN VOTED
In these states, Trump generally performed well among men.
The brash billionaire outperformed 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney
among male voters in Pennsylvania, garnering 57 percent of the male
vote to Romney’s 51 percent. In Wisconsin, he earned 54 percent of the
male vote to Romney’s 51 percent. And, in North Carolina, he collected
56 percent to Romney’s 54 percent.
Though he fared slightly worse among men in Florida than the former Massachusetts governor in 2012, he still did well.
HOW WOMEN VOTED
Women were a slightly different story.
Across the country, many women cried foul over the filthy language in the Access Hollywood tape, his feud with former Miss Universe, turned Clinton surrogate Alicia Machado, his comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and his numerous jabs against women on Twitter.
Yet, scandals notwithstanding, Trump actually outperformed Romney among
women in Wisconsin, picking up 44 percent of the female vote to Romney’s
42 percent. Among married women, he took 50 percent to Romney's 45
percent. In 2012, married women split evenly in Wisconsin between Obama
and Romney. Read More...........
