He was popular with conservatives who wanted to use him to pack the court and hicks and ignorant Americans. Being popular to some doesn’t make you generally popular. Approval never rating never approached 50% I'm talking locally here, but some around here took a chance on Trump in 2016 for something different. And these are educated people. However by 2020 those same people saw that it didn't work and voted for Biden. Suburbs is where Trump lost in many states. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never saw that with any other president. How many votes did Reagan get ? Trump got more votes than any other president in history ( well of course not as much as Biden ) unless I'm also wrong here. Imagine comparing rally sizes in the midst of a pandemic that one side took seriously and the other didn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think many shrug and don't vote because it's so far in one direction that they feel it won't matter if they vote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
