Donald Trump’s sweeping win of more than a dozen state primaries on Tuesday has all but secured his Republican nomination and a long-expected rematch with President Joe Biden in November.
Losing in just one state out of 15, Trump captured roughly three-quarters of all votes on Super Tuesday in a landslide that prompted the departure of his last remaining opponent, Nikki Haley.
Data from Super Tuesday’s elections, combined with the US census and other sources, sharpens our picture of Trump’s base. The former president clearly enjoys wide support among Republicans, but that varies among demographic groups — signalling potential problems for him in November.
As in past elections, Trump performed better in counties with lower levels of college education and those with lower household incomes, and worse as those metrics increased. He also tended to see more support in rural counties versus large metro areas, reminiscent of his voter base in 2020
