I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

      “gained fans” is problematic because it’s subjective, but it’s being widely reported that his polling has improved with the indictments. This is the first hit in search with some details but there are many articles like it.

      Briefly, the narrative that it’s a politically motivated witch hunt is resonating with voters.

          Yeah, but also remember that if there is one thing history taught us, it is that a non popular voted president can win still. Many of us were in disbelief when it happened with this guy.

          Also, don’t underestimate the fact that people may disagree with Trump, but they only have to disagree/hate Biden more in order to vote for this guy.

          So yes, I do agree that his polls may be increasing or rather, I never underestimate that they could be.

          one of them is that polls aren’t really very useful

          IDK about this. We’ve certainly learned that polls are poor predictors of election outcomes, but can they at least reveal trends like “approval is increasing/decreasing” ? IDK.
