Make up part of that 30%
Football players also are in that
Saw a report that the majority of (American) Baseball players and Hockey players are Republikkan. A little less than 50% of football players are. I'm guessing a lot of pro soccer players are republikkans too

It should go that low and lower, but about 15% of the electorate support fascism, 30 to 35% support authoritarianism. So we might be seeing some ignorant people peel off. (Those who have been truly harmed in the last year) Bush dropped to 25% but that was in a full economic meltdown. Ever meet a Bush voter who admitted they were wrong?

Thus I think 25% plus or minus a couple of points is the floor.

One caveat, Trump is a bigger loser AND if we get down that low then the Country will be in full meltdown mode.

You make a valid point. But I think the core Republican voter is a piece of shit human being.

But, 28% of the country would probably tell us either: 1) It's getting better and it is Biden and Obama's fault; and/or 2) Everything is just fine and the numbers are really better than that

He's at just 26% approval on Inflation and 21% on Gas Prices. 77% of all those surveyed believe Trump's policies have made the cost of living worse. 69% believe a recession is somewhat likely or very likely in the next year.

One thing that seems to be happening is the number of moving from "Strongly Approve" to "Somewhat Approve".

Also, the number of "Strongly Disapprove" shows highly motivated voters that want this to end and are more likely to overcome obstacles to make that happen.

The GOP has given up on trying to appeal to voters and concentrate on stopping people from voting.

Go out and talk to actual Republicans and I promise you they are all 100% loyal and to think different is only fooling yourself.

How many times are we going to go through this?
We listen to polls that say "Republicans are doing horrible" only for him to win again.
This country values certain traits above all others and that is misogyny, xenophobia, bigotry and racism. Oh and this country LOVES pedophiles and rapists. It's literally full of them
I mean our country is literally run by a man that is both a pedophile and a rapist. Millions of people voted for him knowing that about him.
We literally busted 8 different DISNEY CRUISE SHIPS full of pedophiles just this week.

I would love nothing more than dance around the May Pole with puppies and kittens and talk about how great our country is but that just isn't the case. Our country is deeply rooted in hate and anger and violence and above all willful ignorance. We are literally famous for it around the world.
Our country is world famous for three things and three things only, literally synonymous with being America:
Ignorance
Violence
Greed

That's it.

Those predicted to have "psychopathic traits."

So, I wouldn't expect that 30% to abandon the king of the psychopaths ever.

Prevalence in the United States
Approximately 70% of the
population is estimated to
have no psychopathic traits
whatsoever.

Key Point
👇👇👇👇👇👇
The remaining
30% have low, medium, or
high levels of psychopathy.

Characteristics of Psychopaths

1. Aggressive, callous, and cunning
2. Complete absence of conscience and empathy
3. Very adept at manipulating others
4. Willingness to engage in immoral, criminal conduct
5. Willingness to take what they want and do as they please, regardless of who is hurt or wronged
6. Deceptive ability to appear outwardly benevolent
7. Deceptive ability to behave in superficially charming ways to hide purely selfish motives
8. Willingness to use intimidation and violence to control others in order to satisfy their own needs

10. Complete absence of any sense of guilt or remorse for the harm their actions have caused to others
11. Rationalization of their own immoral behavior
12. Will attempt to lay blame upon someone else for their own conduct
13. Denial, will deny their own wrongdoing outright
14. Utter contemptuousness toward the feelings and desires of their fellow beings
15. Pathological lying, will say anything without any concern for truth to advance their own hidden agendas
16. Ablity to feign [fake] normal human emotions and empathy
