Trump pitch to oil companies turns off two-thirds of likely voters, poll finds [Saul Elbein | 05/21/24 | The Hill]
Broad majorities of voters aren’t happy with Trump’s apparent offer of a quid pro quo to oil companies, a poll from an advocacy group has found. Almost 6 in 10 likely voters surveyed — 58 percent —…

Almost 6 in 10 likely voters surveyed — 58 percent — said they were “concerned” about a second Trump term after hearing about the former president’s reported offer to undo broad swaths of President Biden’s climate policies, according to polling by Data for Progress and Climate Power.
The group’s new poll surveyed 1,231 likely voters from May 10-13, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
.... yet will vote for him anyway.
56While 42 percent of Republicans said they would reconsider voting for any politician who said what the former president reportedly did, their concern dissipated when the remarks were attributed to Trump.
On getting that piece of information, 42 percent of Republicans said they would be more likely to vote for the former president as a result, and just 12 percent that they would be less likely to vote for him.
Don't try to convince Trump voters. Just get your friends to vote, instead of staying home. Fucking vote.
I think this is also a good indicator of how loud Trump voters are. They really want to shout "Trump!" as loudly as possible, because he represents freedom from repercussions. Polls right now are balanced because Trump supporters are shouting as loud as they can. Biden voters barely pick up the phone.
Just vote. Ignore the few loud losers yelling their opinions. Vote.
13Good news, for Trump, is that you can still be President with 40% of the vote.
9That just shows that they still need to be informed on the 112 climate policies he repealed in his first term. He rolled back ten years of progress. Share this wherever you can.

1True, people will continue to vote duopoly...
-30I get thar duopoly sucks but that is the final end state of FPTP voting.
So until we implement a more fair voting system and eliminate the electoral college or rework it so that electors are divided closest to the population vote across all 50 states and numbers reworked to accurately reflect populations, we're stuck with voting for the electors to hopefully choose the less shitty option.
35Have you ever even been in a system with three or more party rule? They rarely have a majority. They typically have to form coalition governments with other parties. Democracies are compromise. It’s never one party elected and everything just changes. That only happens in authoritarian systems and LOTS of people are murdered to accomplish this. FDR had 4 terms and didn’t get half of what he fought for accomplished with some of the highest approval ratings ever. It took the right 50+ years of dismantling power structures to get us here.

Useless article after you read this:
"The polling numbers come with an enormous asterisk: Many voters responded very differently when it was not just an anonymous politician but Trump, who remains enormously popular among Republicans.
While 42 percent of Republicans said they would reconsider voting for any politician who said what the former president reportedly did, their concern dissipated when the remarks were attributed to Trump.
On getting that piece of information, 42 percent of Republicans said they would be more likely to vote for the former president as a result, and just 12 percent that they would be less likely to vote for him."
So as usual God Emporer Trump™ can do no wrong. They probably thought the "anonymous politician" was referring to Biden...
16We already know most die hard republicans won't turn on trump, it's the centrists and independents who are important. And turnout. If there is a large Dem turnout they win.
412% of republicans is enough. If half that many vote for the libertarian party in Texas, and the other half switch to Joe, that's the entire election.
1Republicans are NOT in a Cult but they DO support LITERALLY EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES even if they don't actually support what Trump does!

In what world is 58% two thirds?
1358% is pretty close to 60% so may as well just make it 6/10 for neatness
6/10 is pretty close to 6/9 so may as well make it 2/3 for neatness
Pi also equals 3
