PRRI and The Atlantic surveyed American voters about their feelings on politics. Researchers specifically focused on white, working-class voters—people without college degrees or salaried jobs. While most post-election analysis cited economic anxiety as the main concern of this group, the results of this survey paint a different picture. It was cultural anxiety that drove white, working-class voters to Trump.
