Uhh...they are complaining tho?

I've recently talked to multiple people who used to be huge trump stans that have recently come to me all "fuck him he lied blah blah epstein" and I'm just like "yeah welcome to the club, I been told ya glad you finally see it my way." He's definitely losing supporters over it (and good imo).

You're right! It's plummeting!!!

Something makes me doubt they asked everyone.

That is not how polls work.

a poll means that they take a random sample from the population and make assumptions based off that. If done properly, and with a sufficiently large sample size, the poll is typically accurate within about 2.5% on either side.

"Well, I thought the giant wooden horse would be good for the city, but now I see it was all a ruse. I can't wait for tomorrow when I can vote for all these Trojan soldiers to leave."

I mean yeah basically, but still they are vocal about being "betrayed" if you actually talk to one. (And of course not all but then again some were still taken in by Jim Jones untill the bitter Flavor-Aid, and some had to drink it at gunpoint. The audio is chilling but my point is cults gonna cult.)

And to be fair, it's much easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled, so, "good" and stuff I'm glad for anyone who finally sees. Of course they aren't going to go from "I love him" to pitchforks and torches in a short time but any crack in the veneer is good here.

Approval rate between Republicans is still over 90%, they might be complaining, but most of them would still vote for him if there was an election tomorrow because, somehow, "Democrats are worse".

Unfortunately your anecdotal evidence is not indicative of what is actually happening. Almost all Trump cultists are still on board and lost interest in Epstein the moment they realised it was not so much about the Democrats as it was about Trump.
