That’s an isolated ABC poll, not an indication of national sentiment. More accurately 45% of people who responded to a random American Broadcasting Company poll are fucking stupid, malicious, or both.
Sorry. I have a relevant degree. It’s not an ABC poll. It’s from a reputable polling company with a sufficiently large sample size. This a site where they post polls and aggregate the data.
You may have heard of YouGov. That’s a top tier polling company. As you can see they have a poll they published last week which has Trump at 46% favourable.
You can keep scrolling down if you want.
And no, they don’t just do telephone polls anymore.
Then why is Trump leading more than Biden in the polls? I think we have to admit Trump has gained sympathy from those who may not be outright fascists, but sees him as lesser evil to uphold their privileges. Many Americans think he is better on the economy than Biden, which is why Trump is leading. People reminisce on the pre-Covid economy under Trump.
Forgive me for invoking Ad Hitlerum on this, but the similarity of Nazi’s rise to power and of Trump is very striking. Many German voters, including the right of all flavours, felt threatened by the growing popularity of communism as the communist election victory might take away their property. So, moderates, businesses and conservatives thought Hitler and the Nazis is the safer bet, and either supported him or did not mind him because the other option is their wealth might be taken from them.
At the end of the day, voters can be pretty self-interested and most of the time we vote on what serves us economically. I’m afraid we don’t have another Roosevelt to save us from economic woes while still upholding democratic values.

Well if it’s an actual accurate picture of America’s sentiment then that’s very disturbing.
It is.
Given Trump’s remarks about NATO and Putin’s remarks about the Baltics, it’s also genuinely scary.
