64% of Americans say they wouldn’t support Trump: poll

That is embarrassingly low.

The guy attempted a coup. He should be on trial for his life right now... and still 30+% of Americans might support him.

I guess that's a good thing, but that % should be way higher for someone that committed treason, among numerous other crimes (as well as being just a terrible person in general.)

Yeah, screw that. Don't trust polls, vote like your democracy and your life depend on it.

36% is enough to elect, if they all vote.

Other way to read this headline:

36% of Americans are equal parts moronic and clinically insane

So 36% of Americans are fucking dumb. Which is lower than I would've guessed.

This is why we need ranked choice voting. The extremists would never win if we did.

At this point I think 36% of Americans are just trolling

The bigger problem is that a large number of the remaining 36% will support him at all cost. (that last part is extremely important)

Those people see this as a WAR.

While everyone else is busy making some funny meme or writing a snarky comment on Twitter, those people are prepping for war. Radicalizing our youth. Stockpiling guns. Getting ready for a fight.

Now if only someone would do something about the gerrymandering

the fact that there are about 100 million Americans who didn't say they wouldn't support Trump says a lot about the state of America

So 1 in 3 Americans are still craving high levels of Nazism in government

36% have gotta go

Should be higher. People should be aware of not only his crimes, but the buckets of allegations that are eerily similar.

Just a reminder that Republicans have won the popular vote once in the last 30 years, despite holding office for 12 of them.

What a majority of people want doesn't really matter in our system.

How many will turn out to vote though?

I can sit on my couch all day disapproving Trump, but if I don't cast a ballot then my opinion doesn't count for much.

Just about every poll about Trump vs Biden, Hillary, or any other democrat, or an issue where dems and repubs are split down party lines, typically shows a 60-40 split, sometimes 61 or maybe 62% against Trump after bad news about his latest exploit. So seeing that 64% of Americans will either "definitely not support" or " probably not support" another Trump term (compared to 54% again Biden) shows a shift in public opinion in the last few months. It will be interesting to watch whether the trials further this trend, or if he regains some popularity assuming he avoids conviction in one or more jury rooms.

Thats still dangerous, here in hungary, orban (trump's comrade) got about 33% of voters, yet he has 2/3 of delegates, which means total control, as we have a fokd up electoral system, and the opposition votes are stayed home. Meanwhile hungary have skyhigh, record high inflation, budget cuts, tax raises, the national currency value is abysmal, and the corruption is visible from the Moon...

Which still implies there are 36% of the American voters with a room temperature IQ - if measured in °C.

We can only hope that these 64% will actually cast their vote when it counts.

That's lower than it should be.

Now if we can just make sure those 64% actually go vote that would be nice.

The poll of 1,165 adults was conducted Aug. 10-14 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.

That shouldn't be at the end of the article after I had to click on a separate article. Poor journalistic practices.

As dismayingly low as that appears, I think more or less as good as it’s gonna get for a while. Between Fox, Trump’s enablers/sycophants, and the man himself, they’ve been able to pretty much enrapture the lowest third of the bell curve, and it’s gonna take a while for that to pass - if it ever does.

If only we had actual "one person, one vote" elections in the U.S. Instead we have a skewed system where rural and southern areas have more weight than coastal urban areas due to how the electoral college is distributed. It has been common for the popular vote to be opposite to the determined vote for president.

I wonder how many of that 64% will actually vote?

"36% of Americans think a violent, criminal, rapist dictator is acceptable."

How are the numbers for Biden?

I'd never vote for Trump, but i'm not really thrilled to vote for Biden either. I think both options suck.

Since there is no other option we'll end up with Biden again probably, just depends how much power hate and fear has nowadays.

I'm in Massachusetts so voting blue doesn't mean anything in the presidential race. With the divide between conservative and liberal getting worse and worse I wonder how the battleground states will swing this time around.

I’ve noticed seemingly regardless of any instances, in multiple time periods and countries there’s always 30% of the public that supports the absolute worst people/policies.

They broke it out as 53% wouldn't support him if he's the GOP nominee, and another 11% wouldn't support him in November 2024.

...what's the difference between those two things?

Meaningless poll because the popular vote doesn't determine who becomes president. What matters is what percentage of the votes he gets in swing states.

I recall the polls by mainstream media saying that Trump stands no chance just before he became POTUS.

Polls are pointless. Haven’t we learned anything for this nonsense?

While this is very heartening to read, here's some fun American political numbers games for you :

Population of North Dakota: 780 Thousand souls
Population of California: 40 Million souls

both North Dakota and California are entitled to exactly 2 Senators each to represent their interests equally

As we've seen in plenty of Presidential elections since 2000 it matter where the votes are cast, and in what concentration, opposed to how many overall votes got towards any particular Presidential candidate

National polls have little value since that isn't how President is Voted for. You need by State weighted by Electoral Votes.

How many of them actually vote?

Does not matter. Those remaining 36% are located in strategic places to make up for majority of the land mass - aka electoral college - to bring back Cheeto

Now subtract the people who claim they wouldn't support Trump from that number and you're back around 2016 numbers.

That is a good number to see.

36% is yuge

Thank God for Brazil

The answer to trump isn't a right winger responsible for mass incarceration of black people masquerading as progressive expanding the military industrial complex and not supporting workers unions.

192 millions US citizens have replied to this poll ???

I'll take it a step further and not support anyone in dc. There's not an honest person to be found in politics.

Out of 330+ million people, they polled just over a thousand, and said that this is a definitive answer? I could go to the streets of specific cities and get an answer that's either 99% in one direction, or 99% in the other. This article is a lot of bullshit words with no real meaning
