Ha! Polls said who would be elected President. We elect Presidents through STATES and the Electoral College, not national, aggregate popular vote. What a joke! They ALL said Hillary would be President. They ALL were wrong!

Once again you show your ignorance.

All those Appalachian opiod-takers who live in the red states are voting Democrat, huh?

The graphic is especially impressive. There is a massive swing to the left in public sentiment. This is reminiscent of GWB’s second term when Americans were finally fed up with his presidency. The same is happening with Trump and the sentiment is palpable.
Unfortunately, I now consider myself a Dem-leaning independent. I've always been Repub-leaning, but the Republicans have been doing such a terrible job with their handling COVID and make absolutely no sense in their policy decisions. Trump has been bad, but I especially dislike Mitch McConnell.

I consider him to be the Republican version of Bill de Blasio: very unlikeable and very punchable face.

DeSantis's approval ratings are down 30+% and Fox News (which has an "A-" poll rating) has Trump down 49-40 with registered voters (Miami Herald reported Friday that it's greater than that).

Agree about McConnell. In fact, Trump isn't even in my top three: Alex Jones gets the gold, Tucker Carlson the silver, and McConnell the bronze.

I don't know much about Alex Jones (except that he's a crazy conspiracy theorist - even when I was a super Trump supporter, I never paid attention to that guy).

I absolutely agree about Tucker Carlson. Holy sh*t, that guy is extremely obnoxious-looking (never actually watched a segment of his or listened to his viewpoints).

Great, the cancer spreads.

Anyway, hopefully the joke ends soon.
^^^^This is rich!

You were okay with being lied to by his predecessor. Thus you have no claim to any high ground.

DeSantis threw a pick-six every time he had the ball, so it does not surprise me.

He's not authorized to do anything. And you're completely missing the point about the election. It doesn't matter how incompetent you think Trump is. He's infinitely better than someone who will (competently or incompetently) deliberately attempt to implement disastrous racist policies.
