There were supposed to be more people but once again Black Lives Matters protesters stopped them from going...somehow.

I live in rural Minnesota (Trump country) and the enthusiasm of his "true believers" is off the charts. This is an area where we seldom even get lawn signs close to the election  and I already know of at least 3 huge ass Trump flags being flown and a near billboard sized Trump lawn sign in someones yard. Now lawn signs and flags don't vote but don't try and kid yourself that his base is not enthusiastic.

In case you didn't notice, I believe 7 counties went for Clinton in Minnesota, and Minnesota still went for Clinton. Corn doesn't vote, people vote.

Minnesota might go red based on this. One of the ancedotal things I remember hearing about a reporter in 2016 saying that she saw a lot of people put up Trump signs and banners, seeing a horse having "Trump" branded on him, in the rural rust belt states which may have given a hint that Trump was gonna be President.

For the record I expect Biden to win Minnesota comfortably.  just trying to point out it is not going to be as easy as some here think.

Precisely. And those of us on a responsible psephology board such as this one should make it our task to understand and empathize with where these people are coming from, rather than deride those (such as myself) who admit the truth.

Seeing a passionate few flying flags doesn’t mean much. There are folks who fly the Confederate flag in Minnesota. That doesn’t make Minnesota a Confederate.

You can be cognizantly aware of the passion of Trump's base while still realizing that the true believers constitute 40% of the country at best. You do not do that.

And Joe Biden's true believers are what-- 5% 10%? That is why I look at things like voter registration statistics, which shows that Democrats have lost ground overall in key battleground states since 2016.

In any case, the question is-- Trump's approval rating should be 15%. We are in the worst economic crisis since WWII, a mishandled pandemic that has killed 130,000, a deeply corrupt president who has betrayed national security. So why are 40% still 'true believers'? This is an interesting question.

You can get 40% of the country to believe anything. 35% of the country still believed Nixon when he resigned.

I think this is just former registered Democrats switching their affiliation to match how they vote. Lots of that happening in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia I imagine.

That's really comforting, actually. Gives me hope that a few years from now the Trumpists may snap out of it.

By January 1974, Nixon's approval rating had tumbled to 28%, and by the time he resigned, 24%. That's far lower than Trump's. The GOP would probably abandon Trump (just like they did Nixon) if his approval rating went that low. But it's nowhere close.

Is there a poll that says this? Nixon's approval when he resigned was 24%.

What you have to realize with this, most Democratic voters are not cult-minded and don't vote based on some personality cult.

Don't forget ACORN and the Black Panthers that intimidated the real Americans trying to attend as well.

Hoover still got 39.7% of the vote despite the depression being ongoing for years at that point and the bonus army incident.

Also Biden doesn’t have true believers because Democrats aren’t deranged Cultists. His normal supporters make up over 50% of the country.
