Less Than Half of White Men Now Support President

Josh Sanburn
Apr 06, 2017

... Trump’s term in office appears to be taking a toll on the .. voters who helped elect him ...

... Since March, the percentage of white males who say they back the President has dropped from 58% to 47%, according to polling by Quinnipiac University.

Similarly, an IBD/TIPP poll conducted in March and released .. this week showed that the President's support among white men fell from 58% earlier in March to 49%. That poll also showed a decline in support among rural Americans from 56% earlier in March to 41% ...

For many .. supporters, the President’s election victory came .. because they saw him as a “winner and in their minds tough and a closer," <Tim Malloy, assistant director of Quinnipiac> says. "And Americans have not seen that side of Donald Trump and not any kind of victory lap yet.”

Always saw him as a "wiener", not a "winner". And I have seen nothing but fail, fail, fail. Not a single victory.

Nothing gets chest thumping, brainless old white guys more motivated than a good missle launch at Arabs. Every "Archie Bunker" type is hyper-ventilating today.
