This is inaccurate based on latest elections. There isn't full data for 2020 but in 2016 college educated voted Dem +9. "In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980." https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/behind-trumps-victory-divisions-by-race-gender-education/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/behind-trum...

Trump had unusual support among the uneducated and a strong dislike among the educated. Presumably from his long run on TV. Here are some more typical results. https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2012/results/president/exit-polls.html https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2012/results/president/exi... No college degree Obama: 51% Some college Obama: 49%. College Romney: 51% Postgrad. Obama: 55% Though this varies by election with the numbers moving a little based on who wins. Obama had a large popular vote lead which flipped the some collage group. PS: Split tickets in 2020 are another indicator of more topical voting behavior.
