Among young voters, Trump has seen a large bump in support:

While those with a college degree and above continue to support Clinton:

Despite Trump's claims as a champion of the working class, those making less than $35,000 support Clinton:

  • Clinton: 48.9 percent;
  • Trump: 38.9 percent.

While voters in higher income brackets favor Trump:

  • Blacks for Trump: 19.2 percent;
  • Other for Clinton: 36.7 percent;
  • Other for Trump: 49.9 percent.

Both candidates have held steady with women voters, but Clinton is doing worse with men:

  • Women for Clinton: 49.0 percent;
  • Women for Trump: 38.6 percent;
  • Men for Clinton: 33.5 percent;
  • Men for Trump: 56.0 percent.

The LA Times, in conjunction with the University of Southern California's Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research, poll 400 people each day asking will they vote, who they will vote for, and who they think will win.
