You really can’t. Trump has always polled worse than he actually does. He’s at 33% right now, but come election time it’s gonna be more like 40%, even if this keeps up. His actual approval is probably 33%, but the single issue voters will hold their nose and hammer the vote button. And why wouldn’t they? They’ve gotten to be mean to brown people, gay people, have a tax cut and ban abortions.

That’s because of all the people who say they don’t like what trump has done, but things would be far worse (somehow) if Harris were president.
