It has as much credibility as a poll would have that asked for white, blue collar Hillary Clinton supporters.

There are no absolutes. You are going to have outliers, but isolated results without perspective are meaningless.
No. I think the poster wanted to prove the media was wrong in their reporting....again.

There is a reason that polls show Trump supporters tend to be uneducated/ignorant/illiterate. They are.

That's not true at all! I don't like some of his antics and remarks but a lot of his messages are true and he talks about the issues and the solutions that no other candidates will because they want to be PC and are pandering for votes from people who have an anti-American agenda. I am educated, not ignorant nor am I illiterate.

What does Obama have to do with Trump? What's with people on this forum always making it about the other guy?

Trump is a demagogue. He's all talk. What are his solutions? Immigration is to build a wall? Ok, great. How will that save us? All of his 'solutions' are just talking points that sound nice, but there's no real explanation as to why his are better. And no, he's not the only one who does it, but at least people like Clinton have the decency to just change the subject rather than just say what they said louder.

I've yet to hear a reason to support Trump that actually holds up when it's held to any scrutiny. "He speaks his mind." So does my grandmother. "He's a good businessman." While that's debatable on it's own, it's hardly relevant to being a president. It's meaningless.

So don't shy away from the insane support of Trump by making it about Obama. People like Trump because he's easy to understand. He talks to you as if you're mentally deficient and he says patriotic things. He's accessible. That's the only reason people like him.

Since you asked.....

Obama is the sitting President and Trump wants his job. Because of that, it will always be about Obama and the others who look to do the same.

Do you have a job? Do you work? What do you think the other candidates will do for you? According to projections one third of our jobs will disappear to robotics in the next ten years: Smart robots will take over a third of jobs by 2025, Gartner says | PBS NewsHour. Keep in mind that is a PBS link. Many of those jobs will be factory jobs and agricultural jobs - but there is no guarantee. Even waitresses are being replaced by tablets: Tablets Are Making Waiters Obsolete - Business Insider.


Then we have the immigration and some that want even more allowed into our Country (like Rubio that wants to triple the H-1Bs). So you toss in legal and illegal immigration and outsourcing (going down the path we are currently on) and where will you work? Ask Disney workers how they felt about training their replacements and it wasn't just Disney.


Special interest, like Mark Zuckerberg and his quest for cheap labor; will back any side willing to save them money. It takes a billionaire to even take issue against these proposals. We would not listen to the lone voice if it wasn't Trump.


By the way, if the automation information is correct and one third of our jobs do disappear; who is going to pay the taxes for all of the social programs?


If you value your job and you want your kids to be able to make a decent living; take a good long look at Trump. Like him or not; he might be America's best hope.

Hard to believe that study. Those of all three characteristics vote Dem.

No high school diploma: +29 Dems
High school diploma: +3 Dems

Low-income: +27 Dems

Does not attend religious services at least once a week: +20 Dems

This is not about GOP and Dems. The Meet the Press analysis is about Trump supporters, a special breed. Sure the poor support Dems and they are part of the Democratic Party platform. No surprise there.

Just because he wants the job does not mean he is qualified to be the leader. Obama qualified. Twice.
