Does anyone feel that the media's poll indicator of voter education "white less than college degree" is a leftist backhand?

I see the practice of using the few demographic indicators commonly shown, white..educated or not, whites male or female to be a SCREAMING indicator of the medias Left Wing white Ivy League RACIAL bias..used against ALL with huge effect. It has been something we mostly never question because with little change it has always been this way
I want to see what all races and inclinations think...everyone is automatically marginalized by these polling methods and it's subtle.
I see it as potentiallly the MOST divisive tactic used by any organization on earth..and we don't even see it.
If it were divided for my tastes I would want to know what adults over the age of twenty five perhaps...and under before I get called....of each race and inclination think. I know hundreds of people across all divisions yet I do not keep them in a mental file folder based on those traits...not my department.... When I tell you that truckers of my age and across the spectrum think that they would rather puke than elect low in the alphabet..the. You are getting a statistic you might be able to wrap a package with... OMO..
One more little factoid....any guesses on who talk show hosts take their data from? NUDGE!

No it means those polled were White and did not have a college degree.

It's a demographic, like poverty or sexual orientation

I am a white male 54. I have raised a family in one home one town. I work in the oilfield areas with "everybody" you name it.. Whenever I see an election demographic posted as white(male or female) with/without college education....it not only looks like a slap to me but seems to imply in most cases..since no other races educational statistics ever are mentioned, that we are too assume several things by negative to all implication.. Unless you are white and college educated you are inferior. If since they list no other educational breakdown by race are they implying that it understood that no matter what others educational credits are that they are to be "judged?" Less than due to the INTENDED slight of educational distinction among whites? I haven't had any good answers to this but cannot imagine no one has noticed... So?

Sure it is, when Trump spoke to african-american/blacks whatever the pc term is, democrats called Trump bigoted and racist for pointing out problems that a black demographic has, so as usual anything they can do to twist the knife into white dudes, eff em

To me a demographic like that tells me the pollster wanted to get a result to support some claim that was probably invalid under any other demographic.

I would simply not pay any attention to his/her argument or conclusion.

No. Whites with a college degree and whites without a college degree have different voting patterns. So, this just allows pollsters (and the media) to more accurately tell the story of voter sentiment.

The Progressive Movement which now dominates Democratic ideology as well as schools and colleges was founded on the principle that intellectuals are best equipped to govern. Thus the emphasis on college education as an important demographic in categorizing voters.
