Part 10/11:
Trump’s Rising Popularity and Electoral Prospects
Data from reputable sources, including Nate Silver’s 538, suggests that if election were held today, Trump would secure a decisive victory over President Biden—potentially earning 312 electoral votes, surpassing his 2016 performance. Despite Biden’s substantial financial advantage and a higher spending rate, Trump’s popularity continues to surge, with polls favoring him more than in recent years.
This electoral momentum is reinforced by a broader mood: even political "never Trumpers" and previously ambivalent voters are reconsidering, with many openly supporting Trump as a corrective force against what they see as political persecution.
