Former President Donald Trump continued his obsession with crowd size on Sunday, claiming photos that showed a large crowd outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ Detroit rally last week were AI-generated. But one photographer who was in attendance confirmed to the Daily Beast that the images his camera captured were very real.

    Nah, I think I’ll look at the data, now that I have a minute.

    Here’s Clinton favorability among Dems 2016. 77-78% late in the campaign.

    Dems did prefer Obama. Different poll and different questions but 88% of Dems chose Obama over McCain and 92% of Dems claimed they were excited for Obama. Give him the middle at 90%?

    Here’s Biden '20. Adding enthusiastic to satisfied is 91%. I don’t know if that counts, elsewhere in the poll you can see a huge number of people were primarily voting against Donald.

    And Harris in late July looks like 83% with Dems. Again a different poll. Hopefully she’s more like 90% with Dems in a November instead of near 80% (which we know is reviled by literally everyone from your “people are saying” assertions).

    Difficult to find and compare even measures this similar, and the numbers don’t really support you. That’s why you didn’t want to check.

      I did check, found the sources proved my point, and refused to spoonfeed you.

      You cherry-picked data in an attempt to make your point, but just…proved mine? Harris has a likability problem too, and she’s already at a 5 point advantage over Clinton’s peak, what 3 weeks into her campaign?

      Biden and Obama with 13-14% advantages? That qualifies as wildly different.

        I wanted to see the data with the Dem voters to corroborate your claim that everyone hated her. I don’t really care to see across all adults after months of Donald’s cultists chanting “lock her up.” I also wanted to compare to other campaigns to see what “normal” numbers should be.

        You couldn’t find anything of the sort. You’re still posting data across all demographics. And you were furious about it all for some reason, also.

        Yes, I agree Obama and Biden were wildly different with numbers like that. Obama was a huge win, +8 Senate and +21 House. I guess we’d agree 90% is probably above average popular.

        Is 78% far, far below average? I don’t know. You certainly don’t know either, you haven’t looked for anything because they might run contrary to your biases.

          I guess I must have struck a nerve, for you to keep trying “no you’re the one who won’t research, you’re biased!” Truth hurts, bucko. I like that you’re admitting you’re wrong (like a big boy!) and I was right, but still attempting to say that I didn’t know I was right. Flawless logic. Have a nice life.

            You were the one posting, what, three? comments while I was preoccupied today. Now you want to project the feeling of your rage onto me, just like you wish to project about lacking the data you still have not found.

            You have no data to show ~80% is abnormal because the comparisons are campaigns that were wildly popular. You have zero intellectual curiosity, you could have written that instead of being weirdly and childishly standoffish. “Look at the line, me and my pals agree it is low.” Compared to…?

            I hope you grow as a human.

              Lol, just keep repeating “u mad”. Yeah lol, Biden in 2020 was WILDLY POPULAR :). I need to remember that the Internet has 16 year-olds on it.

                Oh, the data you had to be spoonfed, which you claim proves you right, is now incorrect because of your feelings. Grow up. 16 would be an improvement over your level of maturity.

                    You’re so angry about being wrong. In your anger, you’ll respond to this, you have no control.

                    And, when I quit talking to you, you’ll post extra responses, like you did yesterday. Very angry.

                    There are positive ways to get attention, try some of those someday. LMK if you ever want to discuss actual data instead of your feelings.
