U.S. voters approve of Trump far more than the American people do.

shows all polls of Americans’ approval-ratings of Trump as the President; and one fact stands out starkly from it:
The 25 most recent polls, which were taken during 10 December 2025 till 8 January 2026, included the following, which were of “Americans”:

The “Spread” (net approval percentages) for those five polls were: -18, -14, 18, -21, and -20 = -18% Approval for the whole lot of them.
The other 20, all of which sampled ONLY “RV”= Registered Voters, or “LV”= Likely Votes, were:

Those 20 totaled to -169%, so that their group average was -8% per poll.
And, if one looks farther back than December 10th, that difference between -18% for “A”, versus -8% for “RV” and for “LV”, is typical.
In other words: U.S. voters approve of Trump far more than the American people do.
In other words: Americans who don’t vote are far more anti-Trump than are Americans who do vote, but both groups are anti-Trump.
In other words: If the billionaires who control the Democratic Party really DO want to defeat Trump or the Republican nominee in 2028, then these billionaires will need to allow their Party to nominate to run against that person someone who will attract LOTS of NON-voting Americans to the polls in that election. There is no other way that it can be done. Those non-voters — around 40% of the U.S. voting-age population — are so turned-off to BOTH Parties, so that ONLY by turning them ON to those billionaires’ 2028 nominee, AS the Democratic Party’s nominee, can the Democratic Party retake the White House, if they want to do that (which I doubt that they will). And, if they won’t, then — regardless of whom the Republican Party’s billionaires will choose to be their Party’s nominee — the next U.S. President will be basically a clone of Trump (who gives U.S. billionaires a lot to support).

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
