Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president?

And that’s just as a percentage of registered voters. Compared to a total percentage of the population it’s more like a fifth of people who voted for Trump. It really is a small minority and a broken electoral system that got us into this mess.

And that’s just as a percentage of registered voters

The 33.4% is out of every 18+ adult in America that has registered or could register to vote.

174 million are registered

57 million are unregistered

231 million total.

77.3/231=33.4%

340.1 million Americans in 2024

77.3/340.1=22.7%

So 22.7% of total Americans voted for trump. But that’s counting babies, children, and young adults.

Also trump won the popular vote in 2024 so the electoral system wasn’t the cause. Rigged or poor system yes but he would have won without the electoral college.
