Matthew Yglesias makes a compelling case that most polls - especially at the state level - are bullshit if they don't include education. And few include education as a sampling.
It's clear that having a college education means a great deal in how you vote. As Martin Longman points out, there are enough idiots to give Trump a chance. I know, I know, I'm being a sneering coastal, Ivy League elitist, but I'm also not wrong. If you believe Trump over ANY neutral news source (Fox does not count) then you are an idiot. Trump has proven time and time again that he has no regard for any concepts of object truth. I mean, how can you possibly decide who's telling the truth, all those career public servants testifying under oath or Trump's fat fingered Twitter feed?
I've never been a fan of the plans for universal college education, but when you consider how contingent Republican rule is becoming on a minority cabal of plutocrats and the willfully, proudly ignorant...it's starting to sound like a pretty good idea.
