Pollster says biggest differentiation in female support for Trump is education

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Pollster Michael Cornfield said Friday that the biggest differentiation in female support for President Trump is whether they come from white, working-class backgrounds.

"The swing there is education level, which is to say Trump made his biggest gains among women from Democrats, among working class or women without a college degree," Cornfield, co-director of the George Washington University Poll, told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on "Rising."

Trump currently has high disapproval ratings and low approval ratings among women.

However, Trump has enjoyed support from working-class women without college degrees.

"What's really going to be interesting is how white, working-class women are processing this epic drama," he continued.

Sixty-three percent of women said they disapproved of Trump, while 30 percent said they approved, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll.

3. What about white working class women WITH college degrees?

My mother was a stenographer, and my father did various menial jobs. He was also a mentally ill drunk, so she wound up raising four children mostly on her own. I went Democratic while working my way through college.

4. Sick of them equating lack of a degree with income

I've encountered some of these Trump supporters, and NONE of them are working-class, although many of them do not have degrees. A number of them have SOME college, many have vocational training. A lot of them went to college on and off without getting a degree. It is possible to make a decent living even without a degree (although harder if you're a woman). Keep in mind that many of these women are married to husbands whose male privilege gets them good jobs - degree or no.

People in the media are just utterly removed from the culture of people who didn't go to college or who had some college.

For example, a lot of small business types went for Trump.

Regardless, this is why right-wingers constantly attack higher education, thinking it's full of Marxist programming.
