"about half of independents without a college education had a positive view of Trump around the 2024 election??"

I mean WTF?? Is it true that "about half of independents without a college education had a positive view of Trump around the 2024 election??" How come?? He certainly didn't do any of them any favors to warrant such a point of view. Biden/Harris, on the other hand, did. Is the influence of Fox Noise THAT pervasive that half of the independent votes of the United State actually had a favorable view of Trump? WHAT IN THE WORLD DID HE DO to warrant that?? As far as I can tell, that's nothing. It's our media, and the uneducated populace that swallows their crap.

I was at a community breakfast that my wife helped organize this morning. A woman from Wales, living here in Germany, was there, and she asked how come the Democrats aren't doing anything against Trump? I asked her whatever gave her THAT idea? She said she never heard anything in the media. I asked her if she knew who Mark Kelly was. She said yes. I asked her if she knew that he was at the Munich Security conference in March? Or that he was in Paris later that month? No, she had no idea? I said, right, and guess why? The European media didn't report on it. Democrats do things. We can't FORCE the media to report it, but it's not like we're making a secret of it.

I get the impression that the worldwide media only report negative things about Trump and Republicans when they have literally NOTHING else to report about.
