"I'm going to say something that's going to make this table and this audience very upset, but I want to tell the unvarnished truth. I think if the election were re-held today, Donald Trump would win by the same, if not a bigger margin, she said, getting audible gasps from the audience. How do you say that though? a surprised Behar asked. This country is so deeply polarized. If you hated him before, you hate him even more now, she said."
"Joy Behar immediately blamed the polling results on Trump being in office, which Griffin pushed back on, arguing young people are feeling economic strains that are turning them off in general from Washington, D.C. and politics. You're talking about an economic problem, we're talking about democracy, it's completely different, Behar said. I think that people throw around the term democracy, I think Democrats totally over calculated this last election."
A Quinnipiac poll finds 79% of Americans believe the United States is in a political crisis. Some attribute that sense of crisis to Trump's tenure, while others point to economic strain, particularly among young people, as driving political disengagement. Cost-of-living pressures and immediate financial decisions are cited as decisive voter factors. Deep polarization remains a counterargument, with reminders of authoritarian tendencies potentially shifting preferences. A claim is made that a re-held election today would result in Donald Trump winning by the same or a larger margin, supported by continued Republican trust on key issues.
