Working-class voters, Clinton fatigue are key to Donald Trump’s general election success
Presidential Elections,Elections
Donald Trump’s path to victory in November runs through disaffected white working voters who the GOP hopes can force the election into Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and other states that haven’t been in play for decades.
Analysts said it’s a tricky path, fraught with potential pitfalls — not least of which is Mr. Trump’s own brash style, which could alienate millions of moderate and independent voters and could help keep minority turnout at the 2008 and 2012 rates that powered President Obama to two victories.
