My thoughts also!! Folks, 42% is 142 MILLION PEOPLE SUPPORTING AN EVIL, INCOMPETENT PSYCHOPATH. 40%? 30% 20%—still appalling to me that so many could support T and his minions!!! Thousands, OK, maybe that many low information, low IQ, misinformed. But MILLIONS? HOW CAN IT BE????
42% is around 840 people because they only poll around 2,000 people. I am doubtful that 2,000 people represent the voices of 347 million people of which 223 million are adults. Polling questions are quite often skewed and not reflective of any reality, but of the desired outcome. The questions they ask do not allow for you to give your answer. You can only answer the way the want you to, or the other way they want you to. I've been included on several polls.
Then there is the overarching threat of being sued if the number drops below 40. So, remember that when he polls at 42%, that less than 1,000 people are actually stupid enough to have answered in his favor.
There are an estimated 173+ million registered voters. 155 million of them voted in the last election, 77 million for trump - though we have a bunch who have recanted.
Here is the breakdown:
31% of the registered voters are far right wing MAGAs - 53.89 million, 15% are right leaning republican/independents 26.07 million, 27% are left leaning democrat/independents 26.94 million, and 24% are liberal Dems 41.724. 3% are Other - 5.215 million.
If you are a statistician, you would probably look at this data and 1) say that it is incomplete to arrive at 42% of anything, and 2) it is mathematically and statistically impossible to get a 42% approval rating when only 31% of 173.854 million registered voters even like the man.
Take heart in the fact that all of it is is just fuzzy math and meant to make trump feel good about himself. Our challenge is to get the 69% that either don't particularly like him, or don't like him at all, to vote in the midterms and the 2028 presidential election and all of the State elections and get the "reds" out of the business of politics. There is not one single state in the Union that is all red voters, not one. There are democrats and independents in every state.
We need to find them, bring them out of hiding, and band together.
42% approval may be low, but I still cannot get my head around this. 42% are OK with a dictator? Maybe 5% sure, I'd get that, I guess.
