      The survey of 1,000 people nationwide was taken Dec. 5-8. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.1%.

        Assuming they know how to run a poll, that should be a representative sample

          Assuming they know how to run a poll,

          Why would you assume differently?

          that should be a representative sample

          It it’s, 1000 is literally the standard.

          Don’t act like a trumpet and only believe reality when it matches your opinion. Statistical analysis is still science, and rather than make up excuses to ignore metrics, we should work on changing people’s minds and the metrics will reflect that

          Don’t just stomp your feet and say “nuh uh”

    Second paragraph says he has less support overall. I would bet that 51% includes a lot of people who dont know shit. Like my boss for instance, not a single second of cognitive dissonance when I showed him the cat eating lady that splurged racism all over the country was actually American. They’re fucken dumb. They’d support anyone who says big daddy will make all the hard problems go away. They’re children.

      It will last right up until Trumps dumbass policies have them struggling to afford their basic necessities because he kicked off the second great depression, and people are dying in the streets because our healthcare system has collapsed under the load from all the unvaccinated people.

      I would say I hope that leads to a moment of self reflection, but I’m not that hopeful. They’ll just blame it all on Trump and not the terrible Republican policies they’ve been supporting for decades.

        That won’t stop it. It’ll always be someone else’s fault. Republicans have been screwing over their constituents for many decades by making them afraid of immigrants, liberals, etc.

        It will even last past that, because the elites will give them someone to blame for all the problems caused by qons and their stupid ideas about how to run things.

        They’ll blame the Jews, POC, liberals, Teh Gheyz, immigrants…

      That’s kind of the point, no? Americans are dumb and don’t think through the repercussions of things

    “Overall, the survey finds that 54% of the public are “comfortable and prepared to support” Trump as president. That’s down two points from when he took office in 2016. Some 41% are not comfortable, up five points from 2016. So, despite having won the popular vote in this election compared to 2016, Trump takes office for the second time with somewhat less net support in the poll.”

    That’s not too surprising. I don’t think Trump’s coalition has grown much, or at all, since 2016, but I do think the coalition that elected Biden in 2020 has fractured, and that’s how Trump won a second term in 2024.
