With less than two months to go until the U.S. election, President Donald Trump is having trouble energizing his core supporters, especially white voters without college degrees who were key to his victory in 2016, a Reuters polling analysis shows.
The analysis, based on Reuters/Ipsos national opinion polling from May to August and 2016 exit poll data, found that Trump has lost support among non-college educated whites, who made up 44% of the U.S. electorate four years ago and heavily favored the Republican over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Trump is still more popular with this group than Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, with 46% saying they would vote for Trump, compared with 34% who back Biden. But his 12-point advantage in August is down from a 21-point lead in May, and well below the 34-point advantage he had over Clinton.
What is more worrisome for Trump, however, is that the constituencys commitment to voting has remained flat this year, while interest has risen among groups that lean toward Democrats: minorities, women, urban and suburban residents and people with below-average incomes.

Yeah, all those boat rallies and motorcades.....
Isn’t yougov an online poll??
I keep asking my wife, is it only where we live (so florida)?
Everytime we take the boat out, dozens and dozens of Trump flags!
I have seen 2 biden flags and one bumper sticker compared to at least 150 Trump flags on the road
groups that lean toward Democrats: minorities, feminists, urban residents and people with below-average intelligence.
There fixed it for them.
That is too funny. In my upstate NY community I see many, many TRUMP signs and decals and most of the Biden stuff are holdovers from prior elections. I don’t know any Trump supporters who have switched to Biden, but I know a lot of Biden peeps and rats, in general, who now support Trump (but not necessarily the GOP).
In liberal Massachusetts every time I’ve been out fishing with my buddy we see multiple boats with Trump flags.
They are not brain dead, they are propagandists.
Their job is to get as many people as possible to believe things that are not true.
Truth is still winning.
I am a proud uneducated deplorable. Nothing will stop me from voting in person for him again.
What rubbish.
How about not cursing? This isn’t a fantasy football board
The author of this tripe should watch this video of Trump greeting attendees at tonight’s event in NC ... starting with the overflow crowd:

“We are at war with Eurasia.”
“We have always been at war with Eurasia.”
the Republican Party HQ in my county is busy with DEMOCRATs requesting Trump yard signs and asking how to change their party affiliation
THAT just made my night!
Well, watching POTUS’ NC rally made my night, but this news makes it even BETTER!
Which state?
God bless these people and our dear POTUS!!!
Go Trump, go!!
sorry, we’re not answering polls for safety reasons. But we are here. Just as, if not more, enthusiastic. Y’all will hear our roar on Nov 3. Enjoy the crickets for now.
That made me smile.
My motivation to vote against every Democrat on the ballot all the way down to and including Dog Catcher is increasing exponentially by the minute.
Democracy Institute - Trump supporters 82% enthusiastic to vote for him; Biden supporters 40% enthusiastic to vote for Grandpa Groundhog. Any questions look it up.
