The trick now is to tie this sentiment to the 2026 elections. It makes no difference what they would hypothetical have done if they had it again, or to ask who they want in 2028 (do not mention Trump!)

I agree; my experience is that people lie about how much debt they have.

Use this spreadsheet to call/email/write members of Congress. Reach out to your own, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

Another question: Are voters more aware of DTs misdeeds now, than they were in 2024? I realize too many don’t care, but those who do might reveal some interesting numbers.

I have nothing but rage for the people who literally chose this through their inaction. That was a choice and an EXTREMELY destructive one. 😡😭

We should look upon those Trump Delusion Sufferers as we would someone who is a victim of fraud. It may be their own fault, or not, but we can express sympathy for their loss. Then we can tell them how we are hurting, too.

I will note for the record that I have likely missed exactly one election, general or otherwise since 1998 and that one was due to an abrupt unplanned move. These things don't just affect you, they affect EVERYTHING. Politics is not a spectator sport! Damn how I wish some laws only affected the idjits who didn't even bother to 🤬🤬🤬🤬ing show up! 😡 Oy, that is quite possibly literally the only resentment I have. 😡

As a practicing psychologist well-versed in psychological measurement practices, social desirability is an under-considered aspect to polling and surveys. This to me is the major importance of this article and its described approach- it considers social desirability on two fronts and uses this knowledge to interpret data and to devise methods that circumvent its effects. Hats off!

Very informative, GEM. Highlighting the 2024 non-voters for this analysis, and why voters often don't want to admit error/change of heart to random strangers (in this case pollsters), are valuable points

As someone who wants Democrats to win in 2026 and 2028, I LIKE the narrative from Harry Enten and USA Today. This is because in my opinion too many total libs like me can easily fall deep in our own bubbles. It would be a mistake to think there’s this massive Trump backlash when there isn’t in my opinion. Instead it’s shockingly small and people who want to drive up negative partisanship on the Republican side have a lot of work to do!
