The Democrats Have A Very Serious Florida Problem— And That's 30 Electoral Votes

Since 2000, Florida has had a history of aggressively purging voter rolls, often justified under the guise of maintaining voter list accuracy. However, these purges— under Jeb Bush, Charlie Crist, Rick Scott & DeSantis— disproportionately affected minority & low-income voters, who are more...

Is he talking about his new best mate Donald Trump? The guy that said he would be a dictator on day one?

Used to be that the voters chose the politicians. Now the politicians choose the voters.

There are some, I tend to see them as craven opportunists rather than dedicated service members.

Is there a candidate out there that Americans do find favorable?

It’s the nature of 2 party politics that net negative/unfavourable ratings for party leaders is the norm.

KH is doing really well considering all the republicans answering.

I seem to recall folks like Reagan and Obama had >50% favorability for good stretches of their term and beyond. I suspect things have gotten more polarized though, which tends to track the razor-thin margins of recent presidential elections where folks evaluate a candidate more on party membership than on what they have actually done.

Totally normal, non-weird GOP member talking about totally normal, non-weird stuff such as using totally normal, non-weird phrases like "ensures...access to women" in a totally normal, non-weird, non-creepy way.

Trump and Vance have energized the incel/MRA/Manosphere. Totally normal.

I think you’re spot on about the polarisation.

Interestingly I would have thought the same as you as both were popular for good stretches but you have to go back to Clinton for an average positive approval rating over 2 terms (55%).

Obama got 48% despite some very similar numbers to Reagan in the data set who comes out at 53%.

He just called Kamala Harris a "nasty woman". Desperate stuff from him as usual

The only thing that matters is the poll.

It's pretty well established what both candidates are:

Trump: an egomaniac, racist and misogyinist

Harris: a ropey VP with an inglorious term of office behind her

All the memes and twitter videos aren't changing minds in an ossified binary political environment. That's just people trying to comfort themselves that their side's going to win.

The opinion polls are pointing to maybe a Harris win but well within the margin of error. I dont see her chances hardening before 5 November, and I dont see Trump catching and overtaking her narrow lead.

It's all about voter commitment and getting them to the swing state polling booths on the day itself.

The rest of the next 9 weeks or so is just a circus where ad agencies make loads of cash and the media enjoy themselves.

In reality he watched an episode of Ice Road Truckers and thought that constituted 'interactions' with truckers. Or maybe he was watching Transformers and thought Optimus Prime could be doing more for the transportation industry.
