Trump actually isn’t very popular in the South today.
His strongest remaining support is in the two top coal-mining states — Wyoming and West Virginia — and Idaho. None of those are in the South.
The Economist’s net approval map is interactive — you can click on it to get numbers — and I can’t put that in this post, but here’s a screenshot showing the colors:
But the south has a fucking hard-on for absolutely fucking imbecilic, racist, xenophobic Republicans. So, you know, have fun with that.
I would be stoked if the actually productive and cosmopolitan states could shed the dead weight of the fucking confeds (and the handful of “frontier” states that think they could swing it without federal support - spoiler alert, they absolutely cannot), and then just make some sort of agricultural deal with Canada and Mexico to make up for the flyover states being the People’s Republic of Supply Side Jesus, and let them see how that pans out for a few decades. I’m fucking done giving a shit about the parts of the country that are so far up their own asshole that they don’t understand they’re voting against their own best interests.
Unfortunately though, if you toggle the switch to “2024 Voters”, the map gets less red (Red indicating underwater in approval rating, grey being positive - for anyone that didn’t play with the map.) Those haters need to vote!
You’re correct. I’m not sure what “2024 voters” means though. Maybe I didn’t search hard enough. Are they just voters polled back in 2024? Is All voters they polled this year? Is All 2024 and 2025 combined?

Damn, Maryland is pissed
Also I really hate those square maps, they make the Midwest a jumbled mess.
Look at DC… they’re -71.6%
He would still win if there was an election today. Even though they don’t like Trump, they’d still vote party line.
MAGA also did, and continues to do, everything it can to rig the elections.
Great.

I assume it to mean persons that actually voted in 2024, not just eligible to vote, or general population.
