It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    Your own data proves you wrong:

    The remaining 3.5% is therefore the percentage of voters who disapprove of Trump who are not Democrats.

    I then showed that there are a full 8.5% of voters who are Republicans that dissapprove of Trump

    The only possible conclusion from your own data is that every non-Democrat voter who disapproves of Trump is three Republicans who disapprove of Trump.

    Like I said, your math isn’t mathing and you don’t seem to understand that you contradicted yourself.

    I still patiently await any amount of data that proves me wrong

    You’ll be waiting forever, because your confirmation bias is so strong that you can’t see it even when you’re told it multiple times.

      And? Do you think that there is a flaw in the data? Do you distrust the source? Do you interpret it another way that you’d care to share. Do you think that 538 is an unreliable source? Do you have any polls, data, sources … literally anything that shows a different understanding of the situation?

      Are you dismissing my entire stance outright because two different meta-analysis polls don’t perfectly total to 100%? Because, that’s not how polling works.

      Here’s another all-voter unfavorability poll with similar results.

      https://news.gallup.com/poll/650774/favorable-ratings-harris-trump-remain.aspx

      Here’s one that shows only 9% of Republicans (4.3% of all voters) with an unfavorable view of Trump. That’s a tighter margin for me to work with to try to state that Republicans account for more than 2% of the 3.5% of all voters who view Trump disfavorably, but still mathematically sound. In fact, since you are insisting that the percentages add up perfectly across two separate meta-analysis polls this smaller percentage of unfavorably voting Republicans actually helps my case.

      But guess what? None of that really matters because this same poll shows that a significantly higher percentage of independents favor Trump over Harris (44% vs 35%). Which is a direct measure of the question at hand.
