One stunning stat is the X-factor in Hillary Clinton's soaring lead over Donald Trump

She's starting to appeal to ALL women now!

Business Insider, Pamela Engel

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, trailed Clinton by 30 points among white women with a college degree in a Monmouth University poll released Monday. Trump had only 27% of the vote among that segment of the electorate, while Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had 57%.

While that might not look surprising on its face, Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee in 2012, won that voter group by 6 points.


Monmouth broke down the numbers:

"The main factor behind the current GOP nominee's underperformance among white voters is his lack of support among white women with a college degree. Trump holds sizable leads among white men without a college degree (31 points; 56% to 25%), white men with a college degree (11 points; 45% to 34%), and white women without a college degree (17 points; 49% to 32%).

Good. Now the women who are supporting Trump, and that's one I'll NEVER figure out, need to come on board!

many who would never have thought about supporting her in the past but Trump gives a different look to this election.
