Trump’s Approval Craters Among White Voters Ahead of Midterms

White voters, especially those without a college degree, have long formed the backbone of Trump‘s political base. A significant erosion of support within this group could spell trouble for Republican candidates in several closely watched races this fall, particularly in Alaska, Ohio and Texas. Data from Civiqs polling, cited by Newsweek, shows that Trump’s standing has slipped enough in six states to actually flip his approval numbers underwater, states where he had started his term with net approval ratings of 14 points or higher.
