It's not a secret that a lot of the uneducated are Republicans.

Definitely. But that's not the point of the article.

From what I can tell, this is the point:

In the New York Times/Siena poll released last week, Biden failed to win majority support from non-white voters who hadn't graduated from college.

-- His lead over Trump with this once-heavily Democratic constituency is just 16 points (49%–33%).

-- In 2020, Biden dominated Trump with these voters, winning by an overwhelming 48-point margin, according to an analysis by the Democratic data firm Catalist.

-- Obama won non-white working-class voters by a whopping 67-point margin in 2012.

Non-white, non-college grads, isn't going to be enough to move the needle.

Look at 2020... Biden rode high in the primaries... on winning South Carolina?

Yeah, how did that work out in the general election?

Trump - 55.11% - 1,385,103
Biden - 43.43% - 1,091,541

If these non-white, non-college grads are in red states, or blue states, they won't matter.

They might matter in a narrow handful of swing states.
