I didn't say you were; the demographics of his base is shown as such:

So your source proving that Trump supporters are mainly uneducated is by a football field style bar graph that was asked to 40 total trump supporters.  Got it

In this awesome poll, you have them lump "republicans with a high school education or some college but no degree" into one section.  Was this writer that lazy that he couldn't make a third column and seperate these two?  Did he bother to include the age of these people as well?  If I was in college and I didn't have my degree yet, because oh I don't know I was currently working on getting it, I would have to circle some college but no degree.  So now if you are working on your college degree you are now stupid?  Got it

I said "less-educated," provided 2 sources (that 40 is a subsection of the overall poll) that agree with each other, and only highlighting what is a subsection of a known, much larger party trend:

Before the guns come out, keep in mind that one of the first two sources came from this site:
