President Donald Trump’s biggest supporting bloc in the country since winning the presidency last year are the same people who voted him into the Oval Office: white Americans. Meanwhile, minority demographics trailed in their approval ratings of the president, a Gallup poll released Tuesday revealed.
Above all, it was uneducated white men, usually above the age of 50, who were most likely to support Trump in his first seven weeks in Washington, D.C. Trump's overall approval rating stood at 42 percent on Wednesday since his first day in the White House, Jan. 20, according to Gallup's latest poll.
Donald Trump's Approval Rating Will Be The Worst First 100 Days For Any Modern President If They Stay The Same
While just 13 percent of black voters supported Trump, the lowest approval of any demographic accounted for in Tuesday’s poll, a majority of white men approved of the president, with 60 percent of support among the voting group also most likely to support Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Other variables, including college education and gender, have historically played important roles in determining a president’s approval across the country as well. For example, the poll showed Trump was not so well-liked among women, minorities and college-educated voters.
Though 67 percent of white, non-college-graduate men approved of Trump’s first months as president, just 15 percent of nonwhite female college graduates said they supported the work Trump had accomplished so far. That number dipped to 14 percent for non-graduates in the same voting bloc.
Trump’s first weeks in office have been largely mired in controversy, with a focus on the new White House administration’s ties to the Russians overtaking most of the daily news Trump would prefer the media to report on instead. Meanwhile, his approval rating was on its way to breaking a record for the lowest
Men who when they were young and uneducated got sent to war in droves at the demand of the elected officials?
Einstein didn’t start talking until he was 6 years old. Today, he’d be permanently labeled, put in a “special ed” class and drugged with Adderall by the experts at the public skools.
I remember reading an article, where this was more or less explained, and the "more educated" a person was, the more likely they were to hide their support for Trump.
And who supported Obama?
By the time they are “old” they are “educated” by life experience.
Gives them far, far more wisdom than a four year degree in psychology or English or Environmentalism.
Is that why there were so many young people, male and female, at Trump’s Nashville gathering yesterday.
Sensationalist headlines such as these are completely false and not even worthy of commenting on.
The narrative is the same however. Paint White Men as “racist”, “bigots”, “evil”, and “dumb”.
Dehumanization is the first step in genocide.
and clinging to their guns...
And knuckle-draggin’
Trump’s a genius. He can win the Presidency with almost no support. What kind of candidate must he have been running against?
Wizard of Oz:
Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.

Evil white guy...
“uneducated”...The poor buggers never went to grade school.
Politically motivated Hating on White People is only going to get worse
...so hard working, experienced men with wisdom voted for Trump. Young airheads, with no experience or wisdom, taught by college professors, voted for Hillary.
Got it.
Cool. So make war on plumbers and see how that turns out for you fool.
