Trump Loses Grip on His Most Important Demographic
Trump Loses Grip on His Most Important Demographic

Aaron Blake: “If there’s one demographic group that is synonymous with President Donald Trump’s political rise — and his later rebirth — it’s the White voter without a college degree…”
“But as Trump’s approval rating has fallen to new lows, there are increasing signs that his hammerlock on this group is waning.”
“And it’s looking more like that could damage Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections, particularly as this group sours on the president’s stewardship of the economy.”
