One in three Republican voters would have preferred a different candidate to Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election.
In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician. Meanwhile, this proportion is higher (47 percent) among Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old.
I really think Biden is secretly more popular with Republicans than individual Republicans let on. He hasn’t spoken much on abortion and queer support (kind of like it belongs in the background unseen and then we will tolerate it mentality), he wants to lock down the US-Mexico border more, and is very Zionist. He’s honestly a good fit for the Republicans before Trump “consolidated” the Republicans under a[n even] crazier branch of conservatism.
I think that’s his “plan”, whether it works or not we’ll see.
The reality is, most “progressives”, that are screaming about Gaza, etc. Are in deep blue states. Their votes don’t matter in the electoral view. It’s a total of like 3 states that are going to decide the presidency.
Which is one of many reasons our system sucks so bad…
If only youths consistently came out to vote.
It’s definitely one of the more important reasons why our system is suffering. A minority of rural voters have way too much influence. How are we supposed to navigate the future with that kind of albatross around our necks?
