White men need to turn out and vote for Donald Trump in record numbers if the GOP hopeful is going to win in November, according to a story in The Hill.
The minority vote is handily in Clinton's favor, and Trump faces shortcomings (22 points) with college-educated white women, too, reports The Hill.
Two GOP pollsters/strategists interviewed by The Hill put the range at 63 percent to 68 percent of the white vote Trump will need to win.
For perspective, no candidate has garnered more than 66 percent of the white vote since Ronald Reagan in 1984, The Hill reported.
Back in June, FiveThirtyEight.com wrote that Trump needs to tap into the "missing Ross Perot voters" from 1992. Perot enjoyed a 2 percent surge of white men turning out and voting, a percentage that has shrunk ever since.
Trump would need that surge — and more — to account for an extra 8 million votes to close the gap with his disparity among the non-white vote, The Hill reported.
