So you're shifting goalposts.
Yes, he has
Hence why there are more Reps than dems and of those 94% support Trump
Trump won a lot of independents in 2016
He’s lost them
He has the same amount of support from indep's as he did in January
2017
That is a big problem for him
Just inaccurate statement
> 2017 Jan 20-29 89 42 13
Sigh approval ratings are not electoral performance
2020 Jan 16-29 94 42 7
It’s like talking to a child
42 and 42

Ok let me go over this again, 42% of independents approve of Trump. This was the same in January 2017.
Where is this "lost" support.
<:political_thinking:583244726040264704>
The lost support is the landslides against trump in 2017, 2018, 2019
All of which conformed to the generic ballot
But the approval ratings suggest otherwise.
Which is currently dem +6
This is about Trump, not his party.
I’m talking about actual votes, not approval ratings
The actual votes were back in 2016
Anything between then is not a representative.
Mhm, the 3 years after 2016 are more recent than 2016 honey
Of course they are
Because we get this
> "Nearly two-thirds of the Trump voters who said they voted for Democratic congressional candidates in 2018 say that they’ll back the president against all three named opponents."

Trump was very much “on the ballot”
...yes
No, he wasn't.
His party was.
Let’s walk through that statement
Nearly 2/3rds
This is what people said in 2010 about Obama.
