Story Highlights

    Obama's approval among white non-college grads is 27%
    White college grads (41%) are 14 percentage points higher
    Obama's approval among whites has dropped throughout term

PRINCETON, N.J. -- President Barack Obama's job approval rating among white non-college graduates is at 27% so far in 2014, 14 percentage points lower than among white college graduates. This is the largest yearly gap between these two groups since Obama took office. These data underscore the magnitude of the Democratic Party's problem with working-class whites, among whom Obama lost in the 2012 presidential election, and among whom Democratic House candidates lost in the 2014 U.S. House voting by 30 points.

The more educated you are, the dumber you get......
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Aspects of Obama's ineffectiveness are sinking in.

Obama care, the economy, foreign relations, immigration, government operations in general-incompetency's, to name some.

Not to mention the gradual realization he's just a glorified community organizer at heart, manipulator, liar, but great speech-reader.

"God must love the common man, he made so many of them.�  Abe Lincoln

I'm thinking part of the lag in the college-educated crowd might be the sheer number of those who are public school teachers, probably the single most numerous profession that the educational system churns out.

Which, of course, kind of makes it a whole self-perpetuating system: you teach the kids, who then go on to teach more kids to become teachers of the next generation of kids and so on and so forth.
