Recent national polls — most notably one from Fox News that incurred the president’s ire — have shown Trump slipping even among groups that have long been perceived as pillars of his support.

CEOWORLD magazine took to the photo-sharing platform Instagram and analyzed the number of geotags done on the platform at every single UNESCO World Heritage site across the world.
