CNN presents the series “White, Working Class and Worried,” a project that explores the politics of the working class, the anatomy of a working class Trump voter, this group’s complicated views about immigration, their stance on the economy, and how they feel about their own financial status, among other topics. “White, Working Class and Worried” is a CNN partnership with the Kaiser Family Foundation — an extensive survey of white, working-class Americans and voters, who form a backbone of the support for Donald Trump.
About the survey
The CNN/KFF Poll was conducted by telephone August 9-September 5 among 1,614 adults, including 701 who were identified as working-class whites — white non-Hispanic adults who do not hold a four-year degree and, if under age 25, are not currently enrolled in school. Results for all working-class white voters have a margin of sampling error of +/-5 percentage points; it is 6 points for results among white working-class voters who support Trump.
