Trump Hits New Low With White Non-College Voters

Trump Hits New Low With White Non-College Voters
August 3, 20175:00 AM ET

President Trump hit a record low approval in a new poll from Quinnipiac University — only 33 percent of Americans now approve of the president (margin of error +/- 3.4 percentage points). Buried in that poll is one sign of where he's losing that support: For the first time, the poll showed Trump with a negative net approval rating among white Americans without a college degree.

Because of their stalwart support of Trump, especially as opposed to their college-graduate peers, whites without college degrees (or "blue-collar whites" or "working-class whites&quot became an obsession during the presidential election. Indeed, whites without a college degree have sharply shifted Republican over the last two presidential election cycles.

But last week, that support slipped.

Those serving our country in uniform tend to earn a degree after serving, rather than before.

It means that Trump's losing them along with the rest. So glad those guys are finally paying attention to what's gong on in Washington.
