4) A fact-free assumption behind some HRC critiques: WWC=ideologically & econ closer to Left & college whites = wealthy/more conservative

13) But that’s virtually the ONLY major issue in the Q poll where WWC support for a progressive position is > support among college whites
14) On every other major issue, college whites support progressive position by margins of 7% to 32% points more than net support among WWCpic.twitter.com/5x0BM5f5xA

15) Also striking: on 5 issues, WWC view is net OPPOSED to progressive position; college whites’ view is net SUPPORTIVE of progressive viewpic.twitter.com/NasI7Yo0Uh

16) So, constant talk about Dems needing to prioritize WWC & de-emphasize college whites is unjustified based on this data
-
17) Excessive focus on WWC + de-emphasis of coll whites is dangerous given demog of competitive House races in '18https://twitter.com/yottapoint/status/834439526898491392 …

18) In summary: Quinnipiac data shows Dems much more likely to find strong allies on most issues w/ college whites, than among WWC
-
19) This DOES NOT mean WWC shd be ignored; rather, college whites must be a bigger focus for Ds, along w/ minorities
-
20) This excellent
@RonBrownstein analysis from May '16 also sheds light on why HRC focused on college whites https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/05/an-election-in-negative/483905/ …pic.twitter.com/0bClPYEqY9

21) Latest Q-Poll also shows college whites trust MEDIA more than Trump by +26%, OPPOSITE of non-coll whites (-25%) https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2436 …pic.twitter.com/pzJaQLescZ

22) The poll also shows that college whites are far more aligned w/ Democrats on views of Trump & the media than non-college whitespic.twitter.com/gZ2wprxrIo

Poorly designed study--double negatives, etc. Too bad, because it is important data.
-
As I said in earlier tweet, chart wording is modified from original poll to describe progressive position corresponding to Qs
