Democrats Lost Ground With Non-College Voters of Color In 2020

Every election forces us to re-examine many of the assumptions we've been making about voting behavior. The 2016 election brought a recognition of the 'education gap' among white voters — those with a college degree preferring Democrats and those without voting overwhelming Republican. But, even as pollsters and pundits admitted that not weighing on education was a significant source of error in polling in 2016, there was little effort made to examine whether this same dynamic was showing up among voters of color.

@Geee

The Progressives will just say (Publicly) 'We have to try harder' (Privately) They are to stupid to understand what we a trying  to do.

What they are REALLY afraid of is losing (say) 305 of the black vote means they become a minority party nation wide. 

The question I pose is, Will the leadership of the GOP have the brains god gave an animal cracker to take advantage of this?
