Trump's base shows signs of eroding ahead of reelection bid

The core of President Trump’s base is showing signs of cracking after four years of steadfast support, and just as he ramps up his bid for a second term.

Ever since Trump descended the escalator at his namesake tower in New York City, white voters without a college education have formed the foundation of his political success. He won two-thirds of those voters in 2016, and they were among the few demographic groups that maintained positive views of his job performance.

But new surveys show that support is dropping, and that an increasing number of Trump’s biggest fans now disapprove of the job he is doing in office.

Four surveys released this week show Trump’s approval rating slipping substantially, thanks in large part to a drop in support among non-college educated white voters.

A Pew Research Center survey released Friday shows Trump’s job approval rating at 37 percent, near the lowest point that survey has ever found.

Among non-college educated white respondents, 50 percent approve of Trump’s job performance, while 48 percent disapprove. That’s a net 15-point swing from a Pew poll conducted a year ago; in that survey, 54 percent of white respondents without a college degree approved of Trump’s job performance, while 37 percent disapproved.

I didn't realize it was that high. I'm a 61 year old white male and my thought is there's some really stupid white people.
