    Those are some amazing numbers for Trump, I don’t think he was ever that high in his whole first term. This raises some questions, one of which - what exactly is he delivering for working class people that is improving their lives and thus their approval rating?

    Btw, the 53% was a poll published by Forbes. Perhaps a small bit of bias in their methodology. 538 is saying latest polls show 47%, which is still incredible to me.

      I promise there’s some selection bias going on in there. Most people leaning to the left of the Republican party aren’t going to answer polls or surveys about Trump.

      With all the possible outcomes, there’s more incentive to hang up than participate. The actual people writing the policies won’t change their strategy as a response to Trump’s poll numbers, which is the only thing they could have hoped for. Instead, they’ll probably end up on a call list.

      Or, it could be a fake poll made by some MAGA nutjobs looking to create a list. Is it likely? No, but the risk still outweighs the nothingburger that participating will actually do.
