The Bloomberg Politics poll released early Wednesday shows Clinton leading Trump, 46 to 42 percent, among higher-income voters who for decades have aligned with the GOP.

In 2012, those with household incomes over $100,000 annually made up 28 percent of the electorate and backed Republican nominee Mitt Romney over President Obama by 10 percentage points, according to Bloomberg. Since 1996, the Republican nominee has won or tied among wealthier voters, Bloomberg added.

Higher-income voters now favor Trump, however, when they consider what would be best for them own investments.

The new poll shows 45 percent supporting Trump and 36 percent supporting Clinton when they consider their holdings.

“While he trails in the vote, Trump has advantages on economic and investment issues that matter to these higher-income voters,” said pollster Doug Usher of Washington-based Purple Strategies, which directed the survey.

“His campaign’s detours have put him on weaker ground overall. Closing the gap will depend on bringing the conversation back to jobs, trade, and the economy.”

The poll was conducted Sept. 16–19 using an opt-in panel of 600 respondents. It has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
