More evidence that 2024 was a vote against Kamala Harris and not a vote for dt. People never liked dt they just did not want Kamala Harris as President. Reach your own conclusions as to why this was so!

While I think Trump always had a lot of "soft" support even at his apex, I don't think this is entirely accurate. Polling started showing Trump's favorables at historic highs from late 2023 through this past February. Pre-election lots of people (including myself) said it was bullshit, but then the election proved I was full of shit.

The fact that some people who voted for Trump don't approve of his performance currently in an opinion poll doesn't mean they didn't vote for him or that they would oppose him if he were able to run again. If we should have learned anything, it's that people are changeable, sometimes very quickly, and that loads of people vote Republican because of who they hate or how they identify, even if they vote for Democratic policies in droves when the choice is presented to them as a pure issues referendum and don't fully approve of what their chosen officials do.

It was more of a vote against Biden than one against Harris.
