us, the bus for you. brian: it s a lot of letters but i get the sentiment. my husband is a coach. we are not going to change the name. go find another tree to hug. leave baseball alone. brian: all right. meanwhile the income gap is impacting our kids when it comes to sports and activities. it depend on how much your parents make and how much you play. the sad reality of sports today. tyrus is here to break it down. not only does he wrestle as the commentator, but you are a coach.
big change? harry do you think from the makeup of trump supporters in 2016? what do you think? yeah, i think it is. you know, i mentioned that education gap right? there really was not much of an income gap back in 2016. so if you look at the exit polls, and you basically average them all out among voters making under $50,000 trump got 48% among voters making at least $50,000 was 42% so the fact was that support by income really did not vary much back in 2016, so the fact that we now have a large gap on income. that is something very, very new. now what we have essentially have as this income gap matching that education gap with trump doing better among voters who are making under $50,000. and you mentioned education level. what differences are you seeing there when you look at the numbers? the thing i love, you know, digging down to those cross tabs finding those interesting tabs and this to me was quite surprising. okay let s just look at those voters who make who are
so stay with us on that. donald trump is in waco, texas, for a rally this evening. meanwhile we have new details about a big gap in support for the former president among republicans, cnn senior data reporter harry antin joins us now to run the numbers . i, harry, what have you learned any surprises? yeah tremendous income gap, right? i think perhaps we re used to a large education gap in republican primaries involving donald trump. but take a look at the income gap here that we see between voters making under $50,000 and voters making $50,000 and over among those voters, republican voters who are making $50,000 and over look trump had the santas are tied at 37% each, but look at this large gap among voters making under $50,000. that is a 29 point. lead for the former president. and it s that large gap and that large support among voters making under $50,000 the reason why trump is leading in the republican primary and why his lead is becoming even larger. at this point, jim and is tha
non college graduates. right. we know trump does very well amongst them. but look at the income gap between them so voters who make under $50,000 and do not have a college degree trump leads by 35 points, but among voters who make $50,000 or more and don t have a college degree look, trump actually trails the santas by seven points, so it s really an income gap. that s separated out from this education gap. this is something we didn t see it all in 2016, and it s a big thing driving this primary right now. and you know, obviously, his legal troubles have been in the news not just the last week, but for many weeks, but particularly in the last week. um that s obviously raised questions about his electability in 2024. how is that playing with his supporters ? do you think are you seeing any kind of an impact in the numbers? yeah, to me. the fact is unlike in 2021. joe biden was winning because they thought he was the most electable. if you look at the voters right now, who are supporting
cycle s if you look back at 2016 , you know there was this whole idea that donald trump ran this populist campaign ride and he was doing well among you know, the quote unquote, his quote, poorly educated people, but in fact, there was no real gap on income he did about as well with voters who made less than $50,000, as he did with those making more than $50,000. so this year we ve seen this income gap really grow in this trump populist campaign really seemed to take off. okay, so that which is very interesting, because when you re talking about things with trump taking off the context everyone s hearing about is all this legal issue. and is that going to put, you know? take all the bloom off the rose. this such as there was any left? but you re talking about not just income but also a coalition that appears to be coming together for trump. yes, democrats would actually like it s very interesting in a republican primary. the two groups who donald trump is doing very well as well amongst
