From [HERE] and [HERE] Veteran pollster Henry Olsen told The Post that under Trump’s leadership the GOP had been welcoming in working-class voters only “in fits and starts” until last night.

As for the Harris campaign, Olsen added, the Democratic nominee “was not hitting her targets” early on last night, including shoring up suburban women and retaining high levels of support among black and Hispanic voters.

“She could have minimized some of the loss of the black community by making it up in the suburbs with women,” he said. “But when the votes came in it was quite clear she was not running up the score.” 

Strikingly, Trump’s support among white voters dropped by 3 percentage point from 2016 — and Harris gained 8 points among white voters.

In total, 12% of black voters reported casting ballots for Trump in 2024, compared with just 8% eight years earlier. Twenty percent of black men said they supported the former president over Harris.

Asian voters voted for Trump by 38%, which was a nine-percentage-point increase from 2016. That’s the same margin that left the Democratic party by 2024.

Among Latinos, 45% broke for him this cycle, whereas just 29% voted for him in 2016 — a 16 percentage point shift.

A majority (54%) of Latino men helped fuel that rise for the soon-to-be 47th president.

The share of the electorate who is Latino has also grown significantly — from less than 12% in 2016 to 14.7% this year.
