A few days ago, President Donald Trump tweeted, “SILENT MAJORITY!” amid the recent protests. The President may be hoping that there is a group of people who support him and his positions, yet aren’t being captured by the popular zeitgeist.
The polling, of course, suggests that Trump is in a lot of trouble. Most disapprove of his performance on race relations, and he trails former Vice President Joe Biden by high single digits in the polls.
A look at history reveals that the idea of a silent majority is really a misnomer. While majorities may not be out in the street, they aren’t silent. They make their viewpoints clear in the polling. CONT.
