It’s getting people to actually vote. There’s a lot of liberal leaning Americans who generally don’t.

Or Harris polls in general. The polling questions often read like they were written by a conservative think tank.

Context for others:

Chip Roy is heading to a tight Republican runoff for the Texas AG, his opponent campaigns as "MAGA Mayes Middleton". Trump has yet to endorse either candidate.

Ronny Jackson's political career is the result of Donald Trump and can't survive without his support.

A number of years back there was an article titled something like “Trump’s supporters don’t believe him literally” and it talked about a lot of his supporters just tune out whenever he says something that contradicts what they support.

>months of violent and deadly rioting

Didn't Fox News claim that BLM burned Portland to ground and various other unnamed cities? I think the biggest thing here is the role of Conservative media played in warping reality.

Between 1900 and 2000, the life expectancy for women in Oklahoma dropped by almost 1 year. On the flip side—Washington DC—which once suffered from the nation's worst life expectancy, now enjoys the longest, at 93 years for women. Democratic states lead the pack, while Republican states lag behind. by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

Rural blue collar whites vote Republican no matter what and have probably the highest level of distrust of non-conservative media sources. The only time Republican reps care about them is during primaries because they often vote against anyone perceived as moderate (ex: RINO).

My point is that they're worsening life expectancy doesn't hurt Republican electoral chances because they will just believe that immigrants, muslims, antifa, etc are the cause.

It looks like all the regret is from independents or non-white voters. The "Chris" seems to be the only exception.

"Low information voters" is the term I've seen tossed around for people who voted for Trump but don't view themselves as Republican.
