3. Approval does not equate to voter share.

Plenty of people disapproved of him in 2016 and 2020 and still voted for him.

There is much, much more to how people vote than a question on a poll. Some vote on specific issues. Some are generational party-line voters. Some will vote for *any* R over any D every time.

Even some of the diehards know that he's full of shit and vote for him because he targets the people they want him to target. They don't care what he does personally as long as he hurts "others".
