Republican coalition always had more high-income: hence higher averages. What is key is what changed: Trump peeled off some poorer people.

10% of people who approve NOW of Obama voted for Trump. That's 5% of the vote—Obama has high approval. If Clinton had them, landslide.

It's a close election. Small shifts. Race/econ intertwining has complexity and spectrum. That's not excusing a thing or denying "whitelash".

even liberal media outlets focus on GDP instead of wages. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer isn't a recovery
