Gallup Poll Finds Old, 'Uneducated' White Men Are President Trump's Biggest Supporters

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

I see nothing wrong with the title of this article.Maybe that’s because the So called”uneducated white men”are more intelligent then the snowflakes coming out of our Institutes of higher learning.

They also have the most to lose if the country go’s to hell because of these liberal immigration and money wasting policies.

The Witches of America hate Trump!

Who could imagine that witches cursing Trump would be a top headline on Fox News or that media outlets would actually print the spell, with handy hints on how to curse your President? In what reality does assassination lunacy go mainstream?

America -- and now the world -- has lost its collective mind because the prince of this world is enraged. Satan unleashed all his wealth and power, and he lost the battle for America. The result is a level of hatred most of us have never seen in our lifetimes. It is off the charts, foul-mouthed, irrational, and violent.*

What about those poor, undereducated and easily led Evangelicals. They are big supporters too. Or those racist young white men. Or those ignorant stay-at-home mothers who are happy to be subservient to their husbands.

Nope, they never will. Then the other side of the coin, the illiterate ghetto rat gang bangers, Hollywood liberal freakazoids, fags, trannies, illegals, muzzies and the welfare dipsticks were all in for Bath House Barry so there ya go.

Oho. So if you haven’t been to college you are uneducated now. What arrogance. Especially since it’s been proven that college usually lowers IQ.

Thank you for referencing that article drew. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

In contrast to being “uneducated,” patriots are reminded that these days, a college education means that you have probably been indoctrinated to let others do your thinking for you — an entitlement crybaby.

In fact, during the election it was noted that Hillary had strong support with college “educated” voters.

When Bush, McCain and Romney were the choice of white college graduates, the voting block was perceived as greedy bigoted capitalists by the press.

2016 changed everything. Now they are deep thinkers concerned about their country and therefore wanted Hillary.

And what’s wrong with what white men support? It’s not a badge of dishonor to have white men support you. Older white men are more likely to be in positions of influence so this isn’t a bad thing.

Non-college educated white men (what they call UNeducated) are most likely the smartest men in America.

Coincidentally old white men over 50 are most likely to be Vietnam vets. A group the libs hated and still do.

Instead of uneducated it should be un-indoctrinated.

Fake poll by one of the worst fakesters on earth. You’d be better off trusting a Magic 8-ball.

Hillary had the fully-brainwashed and mal-educated voters. Public schooling and watered-down university requirements: pumping them out on assembly lines.
