He lost 7% of people who backed him before, or at least lost their open support on a meaningless poll. The most important point being that he’s still leading by 1 point as opposed to the 3 points from the previous poll. So it didn’t even cost him a win in this poll. Disgusting.
The fact that so many Americans ever supported Trump is baffling to me. It really goes to show that half of the people don’t go any deeper than the trivial TV shows they watch. But the fact that they still support him after everything is outrageous and enraging. It means all of those people from that group are completely detached from the world, with little awareness or concern for events that will greatly shape their lives. This is what social media obsession, influencer culture, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok have given us. A society that is as vapid as the influencers they follow.
They support him because they feel abandoned by the American economy and want him to return us to how things previously were - wherein a working class family could actually afford a house and pay for college and take an annual vacation.
Not that Trump will do any of those things, and it’s foolish to believe he will. But the rage and desire to destroy the American political system is very understandable.
Socialism is the better option, but people over 50 are brainwashed against that. So fascism it is. “The bourgeoisie are their own gravediggers”, etc
That’s a symptom of their detachment and shallowness, that they believe a criminal NYC trust fund baby gives two shits about any of that stuff. If they’d open their eyes for even a minute they’d see that all he has ever done is petty retaliation and bolstering his own economic class.
No, it’s a symptom of generations of defunding public education to create a more compliant working class. When you destroy your people’s ability to critically think, yet you allow them to vote, you set yourself up for demagogues like this

Yeah. Lots of polls about like this, with a very small shift towards Biden. Not enough to get him to a win yet.
