Trump's final popular vote will likely be under 50%.

[Tommy Carcetti]

Unlike in 2016, he'll still probably hold on as the popular vote winner, but his margin of victory will likely be smaller than Hillary's popular vote margin of victory over him in 2016.

Don't forget that in Trump's entire time as president, his polling average never exceeded 50%.

The majority of American people have still never supported Donald Trump to date.

Nate Silver, FWIW.

1. I thought there were 10 million fewer voters this time?

Or so I read

[Cattledog]

2. That was before all CA ballots came in.

4. It took almost a week to

count just a few million votes. (sarcasm)

3. He must have access to an updated tally I cannot find. The latest I found is Trump 75M Harris 72 M

5. Well if it is true it shoots that collapse of the Democratic Party story

right on the ass. The Electoral College makes the defeat look worse than it does, and some 50 percent of the voters backed Harris. A narrow popular vote win -- at best -- not the crushing mandate Trump and the Times Editorial Board will insist it was.

Lots of gnashing of teeth led by the usual media suspects.

6. The fucking third party votes do it every single time.

There's a special place in hell for Jill Stein and Cornell West because of this.

7. If every single third party voter had voted for Harris,

Trump would still have won the Electoral College vote.

8. Perhaps, but without Trump claiming a 'mandate'

based on the popular vote.

[Ace Rothstein]

11. He would have claimed a mandate no matter what.

[mzmolly]

12. And why help him in that regard?

I have no patience for their bullshit.

[Dem4life1234]

10. Yes

Throughout his tenure, that piece of shit never reached 50% approval.

He has no mandate.
And likely his number is lower due to voter suppression efforts and jackasses voting third party like spoiled little brats.

9. This was not a landslide
