    That’s still a massive loss of support. In a free election, that would mean one of the worst election losses in history.

      I see your point but I guess part of me really wants to see evidence that more of the maga cult has come to their senses. 84% still being willing to vote for him again damages my view of my fellow americans even more.

      that would mean one of the worst election losses in history.

      That’s just because of the stupid way elections work IN USA, not because there has been a massive change in the opinion of the population. Theoretically you can get ALL the seats in congress with 51% of the vote, if they are distributed right.

        I did specify a free election.

        Republicans are doing everything they can to make sure that this November is even less free than normal.
