It's more like a third rather than half. But our busted system gives outsized representation to people who live in sparsely populated states.
doesn't that technically make him the "DEI candidate"
Sparsely populated states with a lot of lead in the drinking water
It's similar to the percentage of Germans who supported the NAZIs back in the 1930s.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

He's polling at about 45%. The third is his base but there are a lot of independents who plan to vote for him, and they're the ones who decide elections.
He’s polling at about 45% (plus or minus about six points), but that 45% only counts the ~66% of people who actually vote. So it’s only 28-33% of the population that actively supports him enough to vote for him.
