He won +20 among all groups, so winning by +7 among advanced degrees is a 13 percent underperformance.
For comparison, if Trump performed like that in 2020, he would have lost them 57-41.
Basically DeSantis was just more popular with everybody this time.
Reason is those in the center liked what he did. A good candidate can swing people 5% or so.
