16. Those polls are oversampling the Republicans they call.

And the voter base is not what you think it is.

They do not and will not ALL vote lock step for him. There are varying degrees of those voting Republican just as it is for Democrats.

There is a certain group that will vote for him no matter what. And still it will will not be for all the same reasons. The same applies outside that group. Some voters will be single issue voters. Or they will actually consider more.

He has only about 35 - 40% of that voted for him in 2020 as his base. Those that will vote for him no matter what. They are not showing up at his rallies like in the past. He had to cancel at least one rally.

He lost the popular vote by nearly three million in 2016. He lost the popular vote by over seven million in 2020. Likely because they knew more about him. But nothing compared to what they know now.

The Republican Party is also financially in trouble. The national and several key swing states. In addition, they have people running it that have no experience.

When the campaigns are fully up and running more will be happening. That won't be until after the national conventions. And that will include labor unions and other groups to provide info to their members and encourage them to vote for their endorsed candidates.

If he gets 65% of the Republican vote that means he doesn't get the other 35% LiberalFighter May 3 #9
What I was saying was that if Trump dies before the election, he would still get 65% of the Republican vote. Chainfire May 4 #11
He won't get in the high 90s. LiberalFighter May 4 #12
And I contend that none of those things negatively affect his voter base or his big money doners. Chainfire May 4 #15
