Of course that includes non-whites. At one time, formal education was a good proxy for economic success and Republican voting. That is over. I can imagine how strong the Democratic lean is of college-educated blacks, Hispanics, and Asians who get some respect from undereducated people of their own ethnicity.
Now for white people (a poll by the Bloomberg news organization):
Quote:White voters with college degrees could help Clinton in swing states such as Colorado, North Carolina, and Virginia, where a relatively large proportion of those voters are college-educated. She could do worse than Obama did in states where whites without a college degree are more plentiful, like Iowa and Ohio.
Reflecting her gender gap, Clinton trails very slightly among college-educated white men, with Trump getting 42 percent and Clinton getting 41 percent. Among white women, Clinton outpaces Trump 54 percent to 33 percent.
The Democrat’s support, irrespective of race, grows with the poll participant's level of educational attainment. She beats Trump among those with graduate degrees 61 percent to 27 percent.
Even in a notional four-candidate field, Clinton beats Trump among college-educated likely voters, 45 percent to 27 percent. Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson received 10 percent support when included in the mix of candidates, below the 15-percent average he would need in national polls to be included in this year’s presidential debates. Jill Stein, the presumptive Green Party nominee, received 3 percent.
The survey was conducted July 7-10 by Washington-based Purple Strategies, using a nationally representative online opt-in panel of 653 respondents. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for the topline results, and a higher margin of error for subgroups.

Donald Trump loses 347-191 in the Electoral college if he gets only 52% of the college-educated white vote (2012 Obama +NC), and 363-175 in the Electoral College (losing Georgia) with 48% of the educated white vote.
This is with the 'even shift'.
