Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

President Donald Trump’s approval rating among voters with a high school education or less has fallen to an all-time low, according to new polling, raising fresh questions about whether the president is losing ground with one of his most reliable political constituencies.

The latest figures from Echelon Insights show Trump is now firmly underwater with this group—marking a dramatic reversal from the early months of his second term, when he enjoyed strong positive ratings among less-educated voters.

...among voters with a high school education or less...

The title of this article is misleading and lowkey offensive. People with highschool educations are not "uneducated" as the title suggests. Shit like this is why these folks are skeptical of main stream media. Show some respect NewsWeek, come on.

Also, I want to know the statistics for voters with NO education. Show me the true uneducated statistics!!!

Depends on where you live; a high school education in some places just means you know how to show up semi-regularly and deal with conflict.

These days it’s not until you go into trades or higher education that some standard level of competency is evaluated. Despite the fact that there are some kids in high school who know significantly more than I do about political science.
