poll: older white men looove Trump, young white women, all afri americans, all hispanics hate him,

interactive chart allows user to pick combination of age, gender, race, education

https://www.civiqs.com/results/approve_president_trump?annotations=true&net=false&uncertainty=true


some highlights.

african americans are totally done with trump. disapproval across all age groups is 93% to 94%. started about 90% after election and has never dipped.

Hispanics have been consistent also... no wavering lines, even with recent events regarding immigration and children: two thirds or more of each age group and gender hate him, with women hating him about 5% more.

Among whites is when the gender / age split happens. white women younger than 50 approve, older than 50 disapprove. white men younger than 35 disapprove, older than 35 approve.

young white females disapprove of trump with 30 percent gap, older white males (50-64) approve with 30 percent gap.. the reverse of each other

Other is interesting (Asians?), strongly disapprove of Trump

approving shooting your kids down in the streets and putting them in cages to create...disapproval among some to most of the conservatives who make up roughly half of all groups.

Btw, the wording of this seems tilting. The split happens among whites but not Hispanics, with a third of their conservatives doing their best to hang in with the right?

They approve of Trump. The OP did a great job with the summary but accidentally reversed wording in that category. White women below 50 disapprove of Trump while white women 50+ approve of him.

Overall it's a terrific link, one of the best I've seen. I've posted it on a couple of other sites, with lots of discussion.

I tinkered with the categories and managed to get Trump's approval as low as 2% and as high as 96%, based on logical combinations toward each extreme.

The OP not only specified "white" but the word was bolded. You used the word "white" in the header of your response. Now somehow you want to ignore that specific category and use "any female."

Sorry, that type of thing doesn't work when I'm around.

White females aged 50-64 approve of Trump by 52-45

I went straight ticket (well, not with just one little circle but you know what i mean).

I even voted against an R (Rockefeller type on the county board) who i know personally and is a great and honest guy. If he were in his early 20's in 2000, he'd probably be a dem, but was an R from the Eisenhower, Percy, Ford days.

Just to send a message i even voted against him.

Then we get this mess. I thought it was going to be a big win, because i honestly didn't think that many people would be sucked in by a snake oil salesman. Some, yes. That many? Never believed it.

Boy, was i wrong.

The Republican Party is in the Twilight of its existence and they know it. When you hate everyone except angry old white people who hearken back to an America that never really existed, the only way to still be relevant is to pack the courts with young arch conservatives who will have influence for years to come.

I don't care how they do it; lose paperwork, delay witnesses; whatever, but the Democrats must stall and defeat Bret Kavanaugh from getting on the Supreme Court.

I understand the urge to characterize. I just wish these statistical correlations had some use. I'm tired of the media publishing this stuff with the effect of doing more to divide than unify.

Being an American today is an odd and uncomfortable blend of numbness, embarrassment and gratitude.

I'm rather certain only a tiny minority of XXXX are YYYY:
Catholic priests; pedophiles
Middle Eastern men; terrorists
Nigerian men; internet scammers
Japanese persons; martial artists and ninjas
Black and Latino young men; gang members
Old men and even old Republican men; trump lovers

I generally don't assume anything about people and it usually works out better that way.
I worry about folks that aren't happy unless they can group everyone into some homogeneous box.

I consider myself a Democrat because I support most things that other Democrats favor. When I discover something about someone that's unusual or surprising, it makes me happy.

Have a great day.

But they still get polled together.

Historically South Asians have bounced back and forth between defined as "white" and "nonwhite" in the US (they were "white" in the civil war, then not in the gilded age, then white again in the early 20th century, etc.). Currently they are categorized as "nonwhite" but behave more like white voters than any other demographic.

(There's a kind of depressing story from the 1800s of an Indian businessman suing to be considered white and supplying evidence of his anti-black prejudices to bolster his case. He won.)

I hate that whtle middle age to older white women still retain some approval, though it has significantly dropped.

I think your white younger women findings are actually reversed. e.g., "Among whites is when the gender / age split happens. white women younger than 50 approve, older than 50 disapprove. white men younger than 35 disapprove, older than 35 approve. "

29. I think we need to add a new metric to polling...
Thu Jul 26, 2018, 10:56 AM
Jul 2018

primary media consumption outlet(s).

As has been noted above, there is a correlation between older white men and Fox "News". And speaking honestly as a white man in his 40's, without a college education, I can say with near absolute certainty that the outlets by which one's views are informed are far more relevant than race, age, gender or education, or even party affiliation; but until we start seeing comprehensive data on media consumption included in polls like this, it's going to be difficult for many to see and properly appreciate that correlation, and understand the true depth of the problem. I probably don't need to cite anecdotal evidence of this relationship, as I suspect that we all have direct personal experience observing and recognizing this particular correlation.

How do we go about putting pressure on the polling entities to include media consumption in the metrics gathered?

It seems to me that there is a clear benefit, for Republicans and their supporters, to the differences in support for Trump being attributed to things like race/gender/age, as it encourages an us/them mentality and entrenches the notion of persecution on the basis of things over which one has no control, while the deeper truth is that it's actually most reliably predictable by the sources by which one is informed, over which we do have individual control.

Obviously, there is an understandable inclination to respond with some variation of "Not all (wo/white)men", and I myself am certainly thankful that I do not share these particular characteristics with the majority of white men of my age, but the useful information is not that I reject these things, it's WHY I reject them.

49. White males 50-64 actually higher approval of Trump than white males 65+
Thu Jul 26, 2018, 07:21 PM
Jul 2018

Insignificant at 64% approval compared to 63% but as a 59 year old white male it was the first thing I checked.

And I would have to agree with the findings, based on personal experience. Most of my friends from Las Vegas and Los Angeles and Miami are in that white male 50-64 bracket. My estimate before clicking the link was that 2/3 of them approve of Trump.

Sure enough, it spit out 64-33 approval ratio.

That's why some of us are never shocked at the 40% overall approval level. Older white males skew conservative and stubborn. They are going to approve of Trump or whoever is carrying the Republican banner at the moment. Day to day developments don't mean much of anything. 5th Avenue is very real.

On edit: The ratio jumps to 68-30 among white males 50-64 when you include non-college graduate. I hadn't noticed that option previously. That makes even more sense, since it incorporates almost everyone from my friends in Las Vegas. They are the most pro-Trump group I am in contact with frequently.
