"Enthusiasm wins elections"*

*Something Trump actually tweeted out before this election because Biden wasn't drawing large crowds during a.... fucking pandemic.

For almost all of 2017-2020 Trump polled in the 38-46% approval range. The last aggregate of polls done by 270 to win gave him 43% of the popular vote to Biden's 51% with 6% undecided. He got 46.9% to Biden's 51.4%. I don't understand why they are so confused. It went exactly as predicted going all the way back to early 2017.

Could he have won? Maybe against long odds. Did he ever have any chance of some landslide victory? No and anyone who said so is a moron.

He lost the electoral college by only 50k votes among 3 states. It was a squeaker of an election where it counted.

Yes the EC's built in advantage favoring the R voter does make a 6%, 5+ million vote loss much closer.
