Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Trump, clearly, is rattled.
28% : It is particularly ineffective given that her laugh is a selling point, while Trump never seems to laugh at all, which, if we are being honest, is a little . . . weird.
25% : You might think Trump represents the gravest threat to liberal democracy since Hitler, you might think that his second term would be more terrible and dictatorial and damaging than the first, you might think he is the most dangerous presidential candidate ever, but none of these warnings are motivating or compelling to the average undecided voter.
23% : It comes down to this: the Democrats are currently beating Trump at his own game.
20% : He's weird," Trump said during a town hall in Wisconsin on Thursday, leaning rather awkwardly on a chair and looking around the room for reassurance.
15% : And while Trump was the only one who seemed able to use humour effectively when Biden was the nominee, with Harris and Walz this is no longer the case.
8% : MSNBC ran a "Trump expands his coalition of the weird" segment on Wednesday after Trump added Robert F Kennedy Jr, a man he only recently called a "Radical Left Lunatic", to his presidential transition team.
5% : The "he" that Trump was referring to is Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, Kamala Harris's running mate and the man responsible for making "weird" one of the defining words of the 2024 US election.
