Clinton moving past Trump with moderates, black voters and Latinos
Aside from winning the votes of females as well as white voters, Clinton has also won among moderates with 50-27 percent, black voters with 93-2, and with Latino voters 55-26 percent. The Democratic presidential aspirant also maintained a huge lead with the constituency that supported President Barrack Obama over the years.
Why voters are abandoning Trump
Clinton was able to charm a large number of groups because of the pro-America message that the Democratic convention managed to convey. Even before Clinton spoke on stage, the crowd was prepped by positive speeches from none other than the President himself as well as other personalities who supported Clinton's campaign. Trump's speech was all about negativity and convincing people that he was the only hope to get things done.
The Democratic Party also helped Clinton select Senator Tim Kaine as her vice president. Kaine is from the South and a man of faith, which basically makes it easier to appeal to male voters and white voters altogether.
More positive notes from Clinton – Kaine campaign
As Donald Trump insulted the families of war vets, Clinton and Kaine supported them. Clinton even mentioned that she plans to create jobs for the group while Trump merely disrespected them. Reports say that if Trump loses among male voters and wins by a small margin among whites, then Hillary will win by a landslide.
