According to the same polls, 53% of white women cast a ballot for Trump, while 43% voted for Clinton. It appears that Clinton won over college-educated white women by a slim margin, and that non-college-educated white women favored Trump, according to the Associated Press.
The new President-Elect has been caught on tape discussing sexually assaulting women, has been accused by multiple women of groping and sexual assault, and has been criticized for insulting women.
