White, rural males saw another drop in life expectancy last year, drawing attention to a key demographic that helped deliver an unexpected victory for President Trump in 2016.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published the latest trove of its data about life expectancy on Thursday, finding that, for the country as a whole, it dropped from 78.7 years in 2016 to 78.6 years in 2017, the first year Trump was in office. The report marked the third year in a row that life expectancy has failed to rise, falling by 0.3 years since 2014.
