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

doesn't that technically make him the "DEI candidate"
