45%?
Fuckin’ what?
The distortion field is stronger than I thought it was.
45% of Likely U.S. voters believe America would be better off now if Harris had won the presidential election last year. … Forty-five percent (45%) now don’t think it would be better if Harris had won, and 10% are not sure.
49.8% of voters chose Trump in 2024; 48.3% chose Harris.
So basically people are still partisan, fairly evenly split, and not much has changed in people’s mind since the election.
not much has changed in people’s mind since the election
Which is fucking BONKERS
Edit: Actually, I don’t think that’s true. Tons of things have changed in people’s mind since the election, a lot of Trump’s numbers and support for his policies are changing radically as people come face to face with them. Like I say, I think the thing that hasn’t changed is the distortion field surrounding Kamala Harris.
The right spent an absolute shitload of money and talented effort on making sure Kamala would be unelectable in a bunch of different ways, because they knew focusing on Trump would be a losing game. I think what this poll reveals is that people are still affected by that, and if you ask them “Trump or Kamala?” they still fall back on weird ways of looking at that question that were implanted in them very skillfully. In other words, I think what this reveals is that the right got their money’s worth.
Rasmussen Reports has a conservative bias in how they conduct their polling, so I wouldn’t trust their statistics to be accurate.
Yeah, or it could be that too. “We called a bunch of people on their land lines, and this is what the ones who answered told us.”
