We’ll eventually get more rigorous data on who voted, and how, from the Census Bureau. But the exit poll does offer some early insights into the demographics of the electorate.

Based on this data, across the board, white people of nearly all ages, genders, and education levels chose Trump. The only exception: college-educated white women.

Whites vs. nonwhite voters

Whites made up 70 percent of voters
58 percent of all whites voted for Trump
21 percent of nonwhites voted for Trump

White men

White men made up 34 percent of voters
63 percent of them voted Trump
31 percent voted Clinton

White women

White women made up 37 percent of voters
53 percent of them voted Trump How did that happen?
43 percent voted Clinton

Young whites (ages 18-29)

Young white people made up 12 percent of voters
48 percent of them voted Trump
43 percent voted Clinton
In comparison, 9 percent of young blacks and 24 percent of young Latinos voted for Trump.

College-educated whites (Polls said what?)

White college graduates made up 37 percent of voters
49 percent of them voted for Trump, while 45 percent voted for Clinton.
54 percent of college-educated white men voted Trump.
45 percent of college-educated white women chose Trump, while 51 percent chose Clinton.
This is the only white demographic tracked by the exit poll that Trump didn’t win.

Non-college-educated whites

Whites without a college degree made up 34 percent of voters
67 percent of them voted for Trump
Of the women in this group, 62 percent voted for Trump
And men voted 72 percent for Trump

Given the inaccuracy of the exit polls, I'm not sure what to believe!

simple Trump won

Less people turned out to vote. And possibly less dead turned out to vote. Hillary lost because she is lazy. She expected everyone else to run with the ball while she took time off, to rest. Trump worked hard and long and deserved his win. I have no doubt that he will work just as hard in the oval office.

To my way of thinking the outcome simply amounted to the fact that enough voters were tired of the Clinton deceptive conduct, Hillary's belief in entitlement to president, a lack of interest in the first....since getting burned by electing Obama as the first.... but mostly because they truly believed the country was heading in the wrong direction.

Trump has a real opportunity here to return America to its rightful place among nations. To set a moral imperative and to grow our economy. His selection of cabinet positions is key because he needs people he will trust and who will keep him focused on task.

If i were Trump my pick for attorney general would be Trey Gowdy. I would include Guilanai Carson, Gingrich, John Bolton
