In 2017, the less educated & lower the IQ, the more likely that a citizen is to be one of the DIMocRATS "progressives".
Fwiw, according to the Gallup Poll of just last week, only 32% of US adults believe that the "mainstream press" is "basically honest & trustworthy" & a majority also believe that the "major newspapers" like THE NY TIMES & THE WASHINGTON POST are nothing more than "house organs for" the DIMocRATS Party..
TRUST, once lost, is difficult or impossible to regain.
