4. It's hard to believe them

I know I'm in a blue state, but open support for Donnie is a *lot* lower here than 4 or 8 years ago. Very, very few houses with trump signs, very few trump t-shirts, very few maga hats, etc. nothing like it has been in the past.

And I know absolutely no one Donnie has won over. I know people he's lost, but no one he's picked up. Granted I don't hang out with many new voters, but still.

Plus, the entire business community I interact with hates him and thinks the tariff crap is a disaster. Again, I know people who supported him previously, but the tariff nonsense lost him a lot of support, not that they were even all that enthusiastic during the latest campaign.

Other than pure bigots and a few billionaires, it hard to see where his support still is.

I can't believe the propaganda is really that effective. Dictators can get away with only about 30% support, and that I'll believe. But nearly 50% is really hard to believe.

Keep in mind he cheats at everything, lies, and corrupts everything. Wouldn't surprise me if he's corrupted the polling community somehow.
