So you're telling me all these tradesmen in oil, gas, electric, mining industries clearing six fig with only a HS degree aren't "educated"?
Education isn't measured with a piece paper, education is measured in knowledge. Drawing your own parameters to what that is then drawing conclusions from it speaks for itself.
We got five year apprenticeships out there but "on paper" these men are only HS educated.
Depends. Do they have college degrees? If so, they are formally "educated." If not, they're not.
"Educated" does not equal "intelligent" or "business savvy."
A person can be self educated, but that's not what the poll in the OP is about.

It's now obvious. Donny gets his support from low educated white Americans.
The "low educated white Americans" used to be the Democrats' base, or did you not know that?
Now that the Democrats have lost their historically bedrock base to the Republicans, the "low educated white Americans" continue to be scorned, ridiculed, diminished, and rejected by the Leftists. The Democrats will never win them back.
And the Democrats wonder why they lost elections for the last 6 years and hold no political power above municipal level.

THis is fake news. Trump has 100% support from everyone in the galaxy. I think other galaxies support him also, though I heard his approval in Andromeda is only 98%.
Long live our king. He is our president until the end of time
And with his hand on the nuclear button, that is quite possible.
Trump won college educated white males by a large margin , 54 to 39 percent! Trump won white millennials, trump won white women. All this BS about trump voters as all rural and blue collar is comical and just deflection to get off the fact that there is an enormous racial division in this country.
Its all about race, Obama even lost the white vote by 20 points in 2012! He lost college educated whites. People just thought the white vote didnt matter anymore, it was all about the browning of america and changes in demographics that made the white vote less important. They were wrong
Back in May, FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver punctured the myth of the “working class” being Trump’s voter base: In exit polls of 23 states from the primaries, all showed a higher median income for Trump supporters than the national average, usually around $70,000. Exit polls last week, while not definitive, reveal that both college-educated white men and college educated white women voted for Trump by much higher than expected margins.
The median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000, based on estimates derived from exit polls and Census Bureau data. It’s also much higher than the median income for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters.
Trump carried non-Hispanic white college grads by 3% nationally; 48% to 45%. He carried non-college non-Hispanic whites by 37%; 66% to 29%.
Good news for Trump and the GOP: he was able to cobble together an electoral college win despite losing the national popular vote by 3 million.
Bad news for Trump and the GOP: since 1992 the non-college non-Hispanic white vote that they are overly dependent upon is losing on average 3% of its voting share with each POTUS cycle, with white college increasing by 1% and total minority increasing by 2%. Since the white non-college voter is on average older than the other groups, it will continue to decline due to generational displacement. Turnout can mitigate the rate of decline in a particular election, but cannot reverse it.
The GOP has managed to win the Presidency 3 of the past 7 times despite losing the national popular vote 6 of the last 7 times. For historical context, prior to 1992, there were only 3 times when the man elected did not win the national popular vote, all in the 19th century (1824, 1876, 1888).
Unless something radically changes, future presidential elections will be decided in a handful of states and along educational, racial and urban/rural lines within those particular states.

As long as Democrats espouse Progressive extremist views only embraced by the two coasts and ignore and insult the entire middle of the country, I don't see things changing much unless the electoral college is abolished.
LOL...just because one is highly educated, doesn't necessarily make them smart or successful.
That's not poll was about, but keep projecting
