Exclusive: As elections near, many older, educated, white voters shift away from Trump's party
Older, white, educated voters helped Donald Trump win the White House in 2016. Now, they are trending toward Democrats in such numbers that their ballots could tip the scales in tight congressional races from New Jersey to California, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll and a data analysis of competitive districts shows.
Nationwide, whites over the age of 60 with college degrees now favor Democrats over Republicans for Congress by a 2-point margin, according to Reuters/Ipsos opinion polling during the first three months of the year. During the same period in 2016, that same group favored Republicans for Congress by 10 percentage points.

It may be that many believed Trump when he promised to replace the ACA with "something much better," then the turned on him when he proved to have no solution aside from repeal and a return to the Bad Old Days…plus a tax bill that has G.O.P. Congresscritters talking about SS/Medicare cuts being necessary due to the deficit that just suddenly sprang up out of nowhere.
