7 in 10 don't want him to run. That means 3 in 10 do want him to run. There is that 30% of fucking morons who want Trump forever.

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed too. 30% of voters actually want a god-king.

Trump received ~32% votes of eligible voters in the 2024 US General. So that statistic is pretty on the mark

Insane regardless, but the 3/10 also includes people without an opinion. Depending on how it's worded, it could even include people who are only OK with it if it's legal, or something like that, which it isn't.

Depending on how they did this poll, 3-4/10 don't vote so their opinion doesn't matter anyways.

And his approval rating hovers around 30-40% so this tracks.

You can fool some of the people all of the time.
