Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Then there's Democrat Joe Biden's 4.5 percentage-point victory over Trump in 2020.
61% : Of course, Bush won the presidency in 2000, and Trump won in 2016, but both won with electoral votes while losing the popular vote.
57% : Trump also points out that he won all seven swing states: Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona.
44% : Trump did win the popular vote, but it wasn't "by a lot!"
43% : Trump won by a larger percentage than Clinton, but still less than 50 percent.
42% : Trump won it with 49.8 percent, but that wasn't a majority.
42% : But in two of the states, Michigan and Wisconsin, Trump had less than 50 percent.
42% : Clinton and his team entered the White House claiming they had a mandate from the American people to make big changes, including tax increases and reforming the U.S. health care system.
42% : If Trump has a mandate from the voters, that's it.
29% : In his recent ill-considered call for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, President Trump boasted on Truth Social, "He [Boasberg] didn't WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn't WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn't WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN'T WIN ANYTHING!"
26% : With Democratic nominee Kamala Harris's 48.3 percent and the 1.9 percent who voted for third-party candidates, more Americans voted against Trump than voted for him.
4% : Moreover, Trump was facing some of the weakest Democratic candidates -- Hillary Clinton in 2016 and the failing Biden, replaced by Kamala Harris in 2024 -- since, well, Dukakis.
