I'm sure (and agree with you) there were low educated that voted for Clinton too.  Ignoring the faults and spins from your favorite candidate know no political boundaries...but given what I personally have been told and see regularly both on social media and in real life they did tend to fall on the pro-Trump side of the ledger.

We saw how inaccurate the polls on this election was, but I will tentatively point out this.

High school graduates or less: 45% vs 48% in favor of the Republicans.

I tried to find numbers that were just people who didn't graduate high school, but couldn't find them easily. That said, Democrats got 88% of the African American vote, who are the lowest in the nation at getting a high school degree at 69%. Hispanics voted 65% Democrat, and they are the second worst at graduating High School at 73%. Whites voted 58% Republican and graduated at a rate of 86%.

Democrats also got 56% of the first time voters (40% for Republicans) and I can't imagine many people I would consider low educated more so than an 18-year-old. Lol
