45. Yes. Significant numbers have learned more since 2016.

Some of those frustrating people, though, are just hard wired to suspicion and hostility toward Democrats and "the establishment." They can't change and they mostly promise to vote against Democrats every election, so the better they're understood, and what LW candidates are saying to draw them, the better.

Reminds me of how when candidate Pat Buchanan's popularity with aggressive white male racists became known it put an end to both his political career and his career as an MSNBC regular. Until then, most of the daytime lineup offered him to their viewers as a highly respected conservative intellectual with a racism and misogyny so understated and gentlemanly (on their shows) that it mostly flew under the radar.

Needless to say, it wasn't MSNBC that outed The Real Pat Buchanan. The kind of admirers his presidential candidacy drew to events covered by the press did.
