Has Donald Trump had a bigger surge in popularity on Atlas than anyone else?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Think about it. He's currently one of the MOST popular political figures on Atlas. Now compare that to these 2014 polls where he goes against one of Atlas' LEAST favorite politicians both then and now:

Impressive really.

The newer one is mostly just two worlds colliding: the anti-Cuomo bandwagon (I mean, he lost to Hitler, Ebola, and George W. Bush...) vs. the ironic Trump bandwagon, the latter of that has dramatically increased since he, you know, declared for the Presidency of the USA.

But it is interesting to see how views on this forum change. It's a fascinating sociological exercise if nothing else.

Ha, even Lief voted for Cuomo over Trump back then.

I'd imagine a big chunk of Trump supporters in Atlas polls are just trolling.

Literally it's like 90% troll votes. I'd imagine Trump will get a LOT of crossover votes from Democrats in open primaries once Sanders is knocked out.

I'd vote for Trump before I'd vote for Martin O'Malley. Legit.

Kids posting on political messageboards are far more likely to "troll vote" than real life voters.  I highly doubt many in the real world will vote for Trump in order to be "ironic".

I think you have it backwards...the kids are the ones taking it seriously. We adults love TRUMP.

Reread my poll on the Trump fan. Just 4 fans are young'ns and that's including me who is old enough.

Twenty-somethings = "kids", my friend.
