Ted Cruz created a mini-ruckus this week by suggesting voters for Donald Trump are not as knowledgeable as voters, for, well, the Texas senator.

Perhaps so, but Cruz backers clearly aren’t better educated, exit polls show. Trump has won the most votes of any Republican candidate with college degrees.

The ruckus started earlier this week after an interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network.

“Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged, and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice,” Cruz told Brody. “Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed.”

The comments by Cruz — who later backtracked — drew a furious reaction from some Trump supporters such as former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. A onetime supporter of Cruz, Palin accused Cruz of insulting voters and she blasted him on her Facebook page.

Determining how much information people possess when they enter the voting booth is a fool’s errand. College degrees don’t automatically confer political wisdom.

But exit polls clearly show Trump performs better across almost every Republican group, including those with college degrees.

The wealthy real-estate wheeler and dealer has won about 34% of the Republican voters with a college degrees, according to exit polls. And 27% of Republicans who hold advanced degrees have voted for him.

No other candidate has outperformed Trump with these groups.

Take Ted Cruz. About 24% of Republican voters with college degrees have pulled the lever for him. He’s also gotten support from 21% of voters with postgraduate degrees.

Even those numbers are a bit inflated because Cruz scored lopsided margins with college-educated voters in his home state of Texas.

Altogether, some 52% of Republicans who’ve voted so far graduated from college, with 19% holding postgraduate degrees.

Democratic voters aren’t much different. Nearly 53% graduated from college and 24% hold advanced degrees.
