Please enlighten me to what this poll was about then...
Simple, it was about the correlation between levels of education and support for Trump. That's it. Yeah u can infer things from said poll but at the end of the day that's all this poll was. Nowhere did it mention how smart respondents were or how successful they were, just level of education and Trump good or Trump bad. You brought in your own projections and or issues. Got it????

So, unless you are a highly educated American you don't deserve to work? Get healthcare? Live in a safe neighborhood? What's the point of this thread?
Under educated Americans do a lot of those jobs you only think illegals will do. They compete with them, it's no wonder his immigration policies resonate.
They work 2 maybe 3 jobs to put food on the table, no wonder his jobs plan resonated.
Let me assure you though, there are plenty of uneducated adults who own businesses that make far more money than some of those with a Harvard degree. Therefore his tax and small business policies resonate. There are also many who look forward to owning business in the trade sector, and on the internet.
All Americans count. Your thinking is why Trump won the election.
....recent actions (and inaction) prove to me that Obama has little regard for small business. While it is difficult to say he hates entrepreneurs and Main Street, his policies continue to hurt us and our prospects for growth.
Business startups outpaced business failures by about 100,000 per year until 2008. But in the past six years, that number suddenly reversed, and the net number of U.S. startups versus closures is minus 70,000.
Optimism on Main Street continues to soar in the wake of the election of Donald Trump. The National Federation of Independent Business' read on small-business sentiment for December hit its highest level since 2004, thanks to a sunnier outlook for business conditions.
The NFIB's index increased by 7.4 points in December to 105.8, up from November's 98.4. It's the largest month-over-month index change since it began in 1986.

Yet none of those links provide what I asked to see. But thanks.

Where, by the name of God almighty, did you even pull this from?

Honestly though, if you don't have a firm understanding of political science or political philosophy, or even just civics in general, your opinion is less valuable. This is just be virtue of what makes sense. I'd never ask an architect for advice on financing. Why? Because that would be stupid.
In the same way, a mechanic, no matter how great a mechanic, may not have a firm understanding of what a president is supposed to do. Sure, the president's "jobs" plan may "resonate" but so what? Aside from the Reagan-eque ideal that we all exist to serve God (the free market), why should that matter? I don't think it does. I agree that the president should promote policy that is beneficial to American business, to a point. I draw lines though. Employees are of at least equal importance as employers, and yet Republican policy almost always favors the latter, particularly the ones with the resources to decimate family business. Yeah, they'll tell family bakers they don't have to serve gays -- woopdie-****ing-do. When they let Walmart write policy for them though, that bakers business may be destroyed in the name of increasing GDP.
To word this more concisely, do the lovers of Trumps small business plan know how GDP is calculated and why neoliberal economics (something I doubt they can define, if they can explain GDP) places that above your job?
Whatever happened to the thinking, intellectual Republicans like William Buckley?
Long gone. George Will is proof of that.
