Heard this on the radio but finally found the actual poll and thought it was pretty telling.
A bunch of other stuff in here, but about halfway down is the results of how the various categories in the poll view people, parties, DEI, etc. It is absolutely amazing at the disparity between all other categories and college educated white women. This article focuses on whites only since they made up over 70% of the electorate in this last election.

Example - How DEI is viewed
White men, no degree - -40
White men, college degree - -17
White women, no degree - -3
White women, college degree - +53
Not exactly breaking news to most of us, but it is amazing to see it on paper with such contrasting numbers between the various categories used in this poll.

Take an NBC poll question about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. Voters were read two different statements about DEI and asked which one came closer to their own opinions.Three of the four groups selected Statement B all by double-digit margins. But college-educated white women sided with Statement A by nearly 40 points.
- Statement A: We should continue DEI programs because diverse perspectives reflect our country, create innovative ideas and solutions, encourage unity, and make our workplaces fair and inclusive.
- Statement B: We should eliminate DEI programs because they create divisions and inefficiencies in the workplace by putting too much emphasis on race and other social factors over merit, skills, and experience.

What this all means is that white college-educated women have become not just a core Democratic constituency but also a force that has helped to propel the party to the left and magnify its emphasis on cultural issues.
