Across the United States, counties with a majority of white working-class voters are clearly shifting towards the Democratic Party. This group is a significant part of Trump's core support base. For the past decade, voters in these areas have overwhelmingly supported the Republican Party, but in this election, their voting inclination has shifted by about 15 percentage points towards the Democratic Party. In Dubuque County, Iowa, where Trump won by 9 percentage points in the 2024 presidential election, Democratic candidate Josh Turek currently leads by 5 percentage points. A previous New York Times poll also showed that white working-class voters are gradually losing support for the Republican Party.
