How Popular Is Donald Trump?

FiveThirtyEight is tracking Donald Trump’s approval ratings throughout his presidency.

projects.fivethirtyeight.com

That is not the important numbers. Likely Voters is all that Matters. Biden can win the popular Vote by 6 and Trump still Takes the Electoral College

Let's say that's the case, and let's say Biden wins the popular vote 53% to 47%, and Trump loses the popular vote for the second time.

Trump would win, again, even though more Americans voted for his opponent, again.

Electoral College aside, what are your thoughts regarding what We The People want?

That's a really good question.

Something else came up, that I heard catching part of a radio documentary on the Electoral College (it's such a weird system when you think about it). Time also did a good article on it.

The Troubling Reason the Electoral College Exists

The Founding Fathers had something particular in mind when they set up the U.S. presidential election system: slavery

time.com

It concludes with:
In light of this more complete (if less flattering) account of the electoral college in the late 18th and early 19th century, Americans should ask themselves whether we want to maintain this odd—dare I say peculiar?—institution in the 21st century.

It's very rare for the EC and popular vote to go to different candidates, but it's happened several times now in recent history...close together. So you have to start to wonder, if it happens again...is this a good thing? You are having the leader of a country chosen by an increasingly smaller number of people.

Everything Dims don't like is racist.

The thing is, I already know that it wouldn't matter if Trump got HALF the votes Biden did. His flock would give him full carte blanche to continue shoving his entire agenda down our throats, and he sure as hell would.

Sadly, the same probably applies to the other party, as well.

Wingers know what's best for the rest of us, dontcha know.

If Biden wins, I hope he pursues a more centrist approach - a drastic swing to the left, even though I support some of the policies, would just create another pendulum swing.

do you mean policies like Badakathcare???

He will, Biden will govern to the right of Obama and IMHO, Obama was very much CENTER left.

 

[bripat9643]

538 has him back at 45.3 Points among likely voters. That is almost a 5 Point surge over the last 2 month. In the Last 2 weeks alone he gained way over two Points. Given the trend he will sit at around 45.5 Points tomorrow. That is only 0.5 below is 2016 starting point and within his margin of error. I am sorry to break the news for You but Trump has this thing locked up. Yes Biden will win the popular vote by a wider margin than Clinton. But Trump has enough support in the bag to secure the Electoral College.

I'm fine with the popular vote, that tells us that most AMERICANS voted against Trump

There is no popular vote. It is a meaningless stat compiled of unverified ballots processed multiplied by 50 to give a figure that means nothing in an election. Since only democrats count it and only democrats care about it, it will always reflect the interests and position of democrats.

That's your own opinion, as a kid in a foreign country I learned that democracy is the rule of the majority. Not happening in the US in many cases where the dumb racist minority hijacked the majority.

There's nothing inherently virtuous about mob rule.

Read some history. A lot of things were decided on the basis of appeasing the slave owning states. And, too - the independence of an organization of states that clearly had second thoughts on federalism. Just dismissing it all as "wacist Dims" is completely missing the history.

So if Bob Smith owns 10k acres in Montana and pays $1mil in taxes and employs five people why should his vote count the same as Bob Jones, an unemployed vagabond from Cali who lives with his parents? No such thing as equality no matter how you slice it.

Trump has never cracked 50 percent, making him the only president in history to have that distinction.

As for your false claim that Trump was 5 points lower two months ago, he was at 47 percent just before the first debate. Then Trump showed his ass at the debate and his popularity plunged.

History shows that incumbent presidents usually receive about the same percentage of the popular vote as their approval rating.

So look for Trump to receive only 45 percent of the popular vote.

It isn't created becuase of the slave owning states, dingbat. It was created because of the small states like RhodeIsland and New Hampshire.
