    Another hopeful sounding headline telling us all what we want to hear.

    Meanwhile in the text of the article:

    When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again

    Just 84%?!

      I bet it’s even higher than that in actuality. There are people who know they should be embarrassed by it, but still support him anyway.

      That’s still a massive loss of support. In a free election, that would mean one of the worst election losses in history.

        I see your point but I guess part of me really wants to see evidence that more of the maga cult has come to their senses. 84% still being willing to vote for him again damages my view of my fellow americans even more.

        that would mean one of the worst election losses in history.

        That’s just because of the stupid way elections work IN USA, not because there has been a massive change in the opinion of the population. Theoretically you can get ALL the seats in congress with 51% of the vote, if they are distributed right.

          I did specify a free election.

          Republicans are doing everything they can to make sure that this November is even less free than normal.
