Doug Sosnik : Education level is the biggest predictor of how someone will vote in American politics now.

He says college-educated White voters are now the modern Republican Party base.

The real swing voters aren’t choosing between a candidate, but deciding whether to vote for Trump , he says.

For every dollar of wealth in a household headed by a college graduate, a high school graduate has 22 cents .

The educational realignment could also change how we view presidential elections versus off-year midterms, Sosnik says.

The vice president's success has been built around appealing not to independents, but to those who “aren’t traditional voters,” he says.

“Up until Trump , Democrats always did better in presidential years because infrequent voters were Democratic . That’s completely flipped on its side now.”.
