He lost 7% of people who backed him before, or at least lost their open support on a meaningless poll. The most important point being that he’s still leading by 1 point as opposed to the 3 points from the previous poll. So it didn’t even cost him a win in this poll. Disgusting.

Yeah. Lots of polls about like this, with a very small shift towards Biden. Not enough to get him to a win yet.

The fact that so many Americans ever supported Trump is baffling to me. It really goes to show that half of the people don’t go any deeper than the trivial TV shows they watch. But the fact that they still support him after everything is outrageous and enraging. It means all of those people from that group are completely detached from the world, with little awareness or concern for events that will greatly shape their lives. This is what social media obsession, influencer culture, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok have given us. A society that is as vapid as the influencers they follow.
