President Trump appears to be losing support of white Americans without college degrees, a consituency that has been previously reliable, according to new polling.

Forty-five percent of whites without college degrees approved of the job done by Trump in a new CNN poll released Monday, compared to 54 percent who had backed him in a poll conducted in December.

A Quinnipiac University National Poll also released Monday shows a similar trend.

In that survey, approval for Trump among non-college educated whites dropped from 56 to 53 percent, with Trump still getting a majority of support from the group. Disapproval rose from 37 to 43 percent.

The partial government shutdown, which entered its 26th day on Wednesday, may be a factor in the declining support. 

Forty-five percent of white people without college degrees blamed the shutdown on Trump, according to CNN’s poll.
