Why does Trump do well with Catholics and Southerners but not in the Heartland and Mormon country?

[Anonymous]

Funny to see Italian American New Yorkers and Southern evangelicals vote the same way!

I'm guessing in the Heartland (Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas etc.) as well as Mormon country conservatives are better educated, less populist and see through his shtick?

New York Italians are plenty educated, thank you very much. Way to stereotype a bunch of groups that are not widely represented on DCUM by suggesting that the reason for their support of Trump is because they are somehow inferior to you. Maybe you need to get better educated about people who are not just like you.

Trump inexplicably calling Mitt Romney "not a real Mormon" didn't exactly help him in Utah.

College-educated Italian New Yorkers tend to vote Democrat, it's the blue collar types still in the Italian neighborhoods (southern Brooklyn, Staten Island etc.) that are more for Trump.

Southern Baptists are poorer and less educated than Missouri Synod Lutherans, Dutch Reformed and Mormons.

It has nothing to do with "seeing through his shtick". Trump is boorish and "not nice". People in the Heartland don't take to his manner (which is a lack of manners). Nobody in the Heartland could ever act like he does and get anywhere. It's not New York. Cruz won in Wisconsin because he said those negative things about "New York values". People in the Heartland aren't especially in love with "New York values".

Signed,

Someone who has lived in both the Heartland and New York.

South Carolina is not New York either.

I don't think education is a factor. He has won 23 states. You can't say Utah and Wisconsin are more educated than Carolina and Alabama.

I am intrigued by this phenomena as well. I am guessing religion played a role?

Northern evangelicals supported Cruz, southern evangelicals supported Trump.

No wonder Missouri was so close!

No, it really doesn't appear to be at all. Of the states that have already had Republican primaries, here they are ranked by percent with a bachelor's degree and who they went for. Do with this information what you will, there really is no basis in the argument that Trump doesn't do well in the educated states.

1. Massachusetts (38.2%) - Trump
2. Virginia (34.0%) - Trump
3. Vermont (33.1%) - Trump
4. New York (32.4%) - Trump
5. New Hampshire (32.0%) - Trump
6. Minnesota (31.5%) - Rubio
7. Illinois (30.6%) - Trump

9. Kansas (29.5%) - Cruz
10. Utah (28.5) - Cruz
11. Georgia (28.5%) - Trump

Trump seems to be doing well among:

- Southern evangelicals

- Catholics and working class voters in the Northeast and rust belt

[Anonymous]

In other words he won the Bible Belt and the region with the least evangelicals, the Northeast.
