    It’s more like a third rather than half. But our busted system gives outsized representation to people who live in sparsely populated states.

      It’s more like a third rather than half.

      It’s similar to the percentage of Germans who supported the NAZIs back in the 1930s.

      I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

      Sparsely populated states with a lot of lead in the drinking water

      I’m not sure if that makes it sound better or worse

      He’s polling at about 45%. The third is his base but there are a lot of independents who plan to vote for him, and they’re the ones who decide elections.

        He’s polling at about 45% (plus or minus about six points), but that 45% only counts the ~66% of people who actually vote. So it’s only 28-33% of the population that actively supports him enough to vote for him.
