Most Americans think Trump is failing the middle class

Source: Vox

Most Americans, including many white voters without college degrees, think the Trump administration isn’t doing enough to help the middle class — a worrying finding for the GOP ahead of November’s midterms.


The new poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University found that a majority of Americans dislike Trump’s policies and disapprove of how he’s performing as president. And 48 percent of those polled strongly disapproved of Trump’s efforts so far.

A majority of those polled — 58 percent — believe that the Trump administration isn’t doing enough to help middle-class Americans. That includes women and nonwhite voters — 87 percent of black voters polled think that the administration isn’t helping middle-class Americans.

That’s true even of white voters without college degrees, a group that overwhelmingly supported Trump in 2016. Those voters were closely split on whether Trump is doing enough for the middle class: 49 percent say he is not, while 46 percent say he is. (The remaining 5 percent said they didn’t know.) The poll has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.

Typically short sighted GOP will ride the Trump train right off the rails.

The grifter doesn’t give a shit about regular working people. He just duped a bunch of stupid people into voting for him. If anyone with half a brain had looked at his past bad business dealings what we are experiencing now is a no shit Sherlock era.

The white, old, rich man who derides the nation's most well known war hero, who has never driven a car, cowardly evaded the draft five times while talking tough in favor of the military, never been to a grocery store, has spent his life screwing over contractors & others working on his properties, who screwed hard working Americans out of their thousands of dollars for Trump University, and who has never even had a job...I'm shocked that that guy isn't sitting in the Oval Office wracking his brain to think of ways to help the middle class (and not how to monetize the Presidency for personal gain) ! A man who has been a known con man in his city, who bragged about grabbing women's privates w/o their consent, who has mocked a middle class disabled reporter, and verbally attacked middle class Americans. I'm shocked that that man hasn't helped the middle class much!
