Remember John our chat about how could the election be so close, with Bush carrrying Catholics, doing better with blacks and Jews and young people, etc? The WSJ had an article today, which supplied the answer. Bush's support has collapsed among white college educated men. Bush carried them by 25% last time, and is ahead by just 6% today. The WSJ speculated it was because Kerry appears kind of macho, and the cohort is put off by Bush on social issues, the latter of which seems wrong because it equally obtained in 2000. I think it is because of Iraq.
Even more curious, is that Bush is still ahead among non college educated white men by 25%. The collapse has only been among the college educated. In short, the more educated you are, the more likely if you are white, that you support Kerry.
