Lord Ashcroft: America may turn the page on Trump, but it cannot do the same for his voters | Conservative Home

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : It is striking that support for welfare benefits, more government spending and a higher minimum wage are most concentrated in the more prosperous top-left.
55% : Despite their demographic position, my polling shows that these voters are closer to the Democrats than the Republicans on most contentious issues, notably including free trade, globalisation, multiculturalism and climate change.
48% : Our polling confirms what the distribution of votes and seats suggests - that conservatives are most prevalent in the less diverse, less secure, Trump-voting bottom right, that liberals tend to be in the opposite corner, and - as I never tire of pointing out - socialists are most likely to be found among those who can afford to think that socialism sounds like a good idea.
48% : If they want to be sanctuary states, let them put their money where their mouth is."However controversial the action it certainly highlighted what remains an important concern.
46% : Meanwhile, national security and especially immigration and border control are bigger concerns among low-security voters of the conservative bottom right than among the prosperous liberal territory in the opposite corner.
42% : We've all seen polls showing majority support for abortion rights, and that the issue is galvanising Democrats and pushing moderate voters - not just women - towards pro-choice candidates.
