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

That does not describe me.
Uneducated means you believe in only two Genders.
I’m white, a college graduate, female, and Catholic, and I supported Trump before the election and I am still supporting him.
Furthermore, I pray for POTUS DJT every day!
“We love the poorly-educated!”
How the world has awakened. Notice where W is.
...and ignorant people are his biggest opponents......
OK, let’s talk about the education level of Obama’s biggest supporters, since we’re casting aspersions based upon race and sex.
6 yrs of graduate work, 2 Masters. Guess I do not qualify.
I was on the honor roll in 4th grade and still like President Trump...so the conclusion is totally unfounded.

I graduated magna cum laude from college and summa cum laude from graduate school. I voted for Donald Trump, and my only complaint about him thus far is that he is allowing the Courts, the Demorats and the RINOs to undermine his agenda to MAGA.
and young , uneducated, unmarried black women on welfare were his biggest detractors
My Dad was on the hobo at ten but could do more than any man I ever knew. Built everything himself from radios, Tvs, Welders, hand wound transformers, violins, guitars, a master mechanic, all with a third grade education. Lost him 47 years ago.

BINGO!!!! Worked as an apprentice for 2 years then Journey level for 4 years while going to night classes to get my degree.
Nothing like practical, real life experience to make the science of Fluid Dynamics more understandable.
Hate to say it, but I could have probably made more dollars over my career if I had just stayed a plumber.
Get off my lawn, bastids ...
