I find it interesting that there is almost no one in the somewhat disapprove camp. More people strongly approve than somewhat approve, but clearly there is some ambivalence and nuance out there among those who approve of the decision. But if you disapprove, it's all or nothing. Sounds about right.
Anymore.
I disagree. While Trump is polarizing, there are plenty of swing voters who would absolutely consider voting for a decent candidate from either party.
I am one such person. I voted for Republicans until Trump, then voted third party, then voted for Biden in 2020. I have voted for Rs, Ds, and third parties in almost every election in the last 15 years or so. I am unlikely to vote for Biden in this coming election, but I'm absolutely not voting for Trump. If a reasonable Republican gets the nomination, I may end up voting Republican.
I don't think I'm all that unique here. There are plenty in the middle that just need decent candidates to go after their votes.
