First Read notes how President Trump is underperforming in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll among almost all subgroups when compared to the exit poll in 2016:
- Men: Trump +8 points in the NBC/WSJ poll (was +11 in the 2016 exit poll)
- Women: -32 points (was -13)
- Whites: +5 (was +20)
- African Americans: -84 (was -81)
- Latinos: -36 (was -38)
- Independents: -19 (was +4)
- Whites with college degrees: -19 (was +3)
- Whites without college degrees: +18 (was +37)
“Of course, Trump won’t be facing a generic Democrat next year. Plus, this is among all registered voters, not likely voters. And time could be on his side. Still, this breakdown shows how vulnerable Trump is right now.”
