The problem, from an electoral standpoint, is that this base—which generally skews 1) older, 2) white, 3) male, 4) rural and 5) less educated—continues to shrink and runs counter to an America that is going in the opposite direction.
Non-Hispanic white births have been a minority of births for nearly a decade, for example. The country is gradually getting better educated and more urban as well. Also problematic: Women are about 55% of the electorate—and they rejected Trump and Trumpism by wide margins in both 2016 and in the 2018 midterms.
A look at changing demographics in key swing states reflects Trump’s problem.
It is a similar story in other swing states. The percentage of the projected white nondegree electorate has shrunk by 2.8% in Arizona, 2.3% in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, 2.2% in North Carolina and 2.1% in Florida—while all the other groups have grown. These six states account for 101 electoral votes.
