Yes, there are rounding areas in both tables
Worth recalling that the self-described "illiberal democracy" of Orbán's entire country of Hungary (with which RumpWorld is in love) is about, or less than, the size of several US metropolitan areas.
European countries, even very famous one's which previously had worldwide empires, are surprisingly small.
We are a nation of ~342 million. Several poles done last year showed that only about 4% of voters supported Heritage Foundation's Project 2025—but all that tRump was had to do was say "Project 2025, never heard of it" and our "independent" (of either ethics or morality) legacy media simply repeated this lie as true.
I've been unable to find polls of not just voters, but of everyone on this issue. Nor have I been able to find any polls done THIS YEAR now that P-2025 is being rapidly enacted by our "leaders"
The way forward on this is to continue to protest against the Great Leader. Sure, that might trigger him to tear down the rest of the White House—the People's House, OUR House—but no one is going to come to save us.
WE must do it OURSELVES— E pluribus unum (Out of Many, One), as the US Motto of my childhood put it
