Much of the debate about Hillary Rodham Clinton’s potential appeal to female voters may be focusing on the wrong group of women.
Probably the most frequently asked question about Clinton’s possible coalition as a Democratic nominee in 2016 is whether she can win back the working-class white women who have moved away from her party since 1996. On that issue, the evidence is ambivalent in months of early polling that pits Clinton against potential Republican nominees.
But polls over the past year almost invariably have found Clinton improving—often substantially—over President Obama’s lackluster 2012 performance among white-collar white women. CONT.
