Koch Brothers believe Trump Presidency could lead to Far Left populism

Actually, Trump did lose whites with college degrees that make over $250k+. Look at this graph:



Also, national polls were very accurate this year. It was the state polls (specifically in the Rust Belt) that were inaccurate. IIRC, the national polling average before the election had Trump behind 2 points, which matches the popular vote.

Yes, but Trump still won the votes of white people that were rich,

"$<30,000: Trump 58; Clinton 34 (T +24)
30-49,999: Trump 56; Clinton 36 (T+20)
50-99,999: Trump 62; Clinton 34 (T+28)
100-199,999: Trump 56; Clinton 39 (T+17)
200-249,999: Trump 52; Clinton 44 (T+8)
>$250,000: Trump 50; Clinton 42 (T+8)"

Trump won white voters of all income! As we can also see from that graph, it is quite obvious if you combine the votes of non-college educated whites + college educated whites, people that earn over $250 000 voted for Trump.

This election is sad, and any leftist should find it sad, not trying to find ways, of self-congratultory, we won the votes of those rich elite in Connecticut, yay!

This board is in extreme denial about the fact that Hillary won whites with a college degree (and those with a college degree generally for that matter) despite the fact that it's pretty damn obvious that was the case.   That graph and other evidence won't sway people here.

I'm also suspect of exit polls that claim Trump won the wealthy vote simply based on the precincts that went heavily for Hillary Clinton.  She cleaned up in a lot of those precincts in NOVA, Fairfield County, etc.  Exit polling a micro-segment of society can lead to inaccuracies.  People can also flat out lie about their income.

Nobody denies that Hillary won whites with a college degree, rich white people voted for Trump, as did rich poor people. However this was the first election white rich people were more democratic than white poor people, and the white middle class were the most republican, followed by the white working class, while rich whites were the most democratic, though they still went to Trump.
