In the last few weeks, Americans (and the media) have watched in awe as a New York real estate magnate prone to bellicose behavior and hyperbole has become the GOP's leading candidate for the White House.
But how did this come to be? A lot of it has to do with education.
Trump's support is strongest with Republicans in the Midwest, conservatives across the country who do not have a college degree and (perhaps not surprisingly) those who report the most negative views of immigration and Mexican immigrants in particular, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last week.
To be clear, the poll found that 60 percent of all Americans support the idea of offering undocumented immigrants currently in the United States some form of legal status, and 57 percent told pollsters they believe that immigrants strengthen the country. But there are plenty of people who see things differently. And those people appear to be concentrated among whites, Republicans and those with lower levels of education.

Trump’s straightforward honesty offends some people. But straight talk is exactly what we need to turn this country around for a leader cannot lead if they are obsessed and encumbered with political correctness.
> now tell me about that 99% group that voted for Obama....all college educated??
The only ones that were, were educated idiots.
Totalitarian leftist thugs will be out to destroy Trump by any means.
Did WAPO do this same analysis on Obama supporters too?
You don’t have to read the Washington Post. You already know what they are going to say about everything. Its a Left Wing rag.
I’m one of the 60% that support a legal status for illegal aliens. They should be legal residents of work camps along with the people who hire them.
These people simply did not get enough college to become proper Globalist Traitors!!!!
compared to the inner city obama supporters with the PHD??
Dems blamed 2010 and 2012 capitol hill losses on stupid voters.
They were only stupid for trusting promises broken by those they elected.
Another ignorant and stupid liberal who thinks she is a writer. She is truly one of the less educated.
Yep. Kind of echoes the sentiment of some here on FR. Whatever right?
I’m a Senior Aerospace Mechanical Engineer ... historian ... I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night (LOL) ... and I love Donald Trump’s clear message of “drain the Washington DC Cartel sewer” ...
Ok, no college degree, lol, she (the writer) race baittress from the Washington Post, knows better. This is popcorn popping time. To much fun to read and watch the Media do a melt down over Trump.
I’m sure this “genius” probably voted for ‘the one’ twice, and also plans to vote for Shrillary.
Interesting.
I have a doctorate, but maybe I’m the only one.
Gee, cute and dumb in the same package.
Well, ok, I guess...maybe it’s just my eyesight; I don’t really see the cute...
According to a WAPO reporter, who of course has an IQ of 200
An article written by someone named ‘Janell’.
For one thing, those that attend college are indoctrinated, rather than educated. That is a fact, sweet Janell.
Most of the indoctrinated have been taught to hate America, hate the white man for settling here, and hate Christianity. Those people generally congregate in large cities and on the coasts. And they are largely godless Democrats.
No thinking person wants an unchecked influx of people from other cultures with other values. And almost none of the illegals are self sufficient.
BTW Janell, most of us here are at the Bachelor’s or Masters level in their respective disciplines. What are your credentials other than spewing racism and ignorance?
