Trump Keeps Losing College-Educated White Voters
September 6, 2018 at 12:59 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


A new Economist/YouGov poll finds 53% of voters disapprove of President Trump’s job performance while just 38% approve.

What is more, the share of voters who say they “strongly disapprove” of Trump has increased by five points, from 37% to 42%, over the past few weeks.

Key finding: “The decline in the president’s numbers stems largely from a change among college-educated whites. These voters will have a disproportionate weight in the upcoming midterm elections to the House of Representatives, both because they show up at polling booths and because so many of them live in marginal congressional districts. In the same poll, 49% of college-educated whites support Democratic candidates for the House (the generic ballot), while 40% support the Republicans. These are awful numbers for Republicans: the president is contagious.”

There's absolutely no excuse for an educated person to have voted for that pile of dung.

If you want to be loved by trump, watch fox news for 20 years or until you are as dumb as a rock and give trump all your money so that you can be destitute in your old age.
