    It’s like half of the general population supports him, and the other half supports Biden. Who would have thought different opinions on the topic would arise in a public forum.

      Less than a quarter support Trump.

      The bigger problem is that almost thalf of the population doesn’t vote at all.

        How can the polls show trump ahead and only a quarter support Trump? Are you saying most democrats don’t vote and only Republicans do?

          Yes, also polls call landlines. What demographic of people have landlines and will sit in the phone answering questions.

            Okay fine. I’ll accept that. How do you know that he has 25% of the vote? Is there some other method other than polls to determine support? Genuinely curious what your logic behind the numbers are and where 25% comes from. I just feel like both sides are so entrenched in their opinions on their party that they can’t possibly think there are people who would support the other.
