it would be cool to see national polling data where we stop pretending like this is a democracy, and show a breakout of electoral support by income percentile (since class relation usually has to be inferred).

i bet among the top 3%, trump is like +70% approval. not that they would answer a survey, unless tricked.

I bet the opposite. I bet the top 1-10% have the lowest approval rating of Trump and it spikes once you get to the 0,1% or even the 0,01%. The wealthy-but-not-ultrawealthy don't like Trump because they're not part of the tiny inner circle currently looting the country. Those people are generally libs or civility-pilled conservatives, high information voters who are comfortable with the status quo and don't like how much Trump is rocking the boat. Top 3% isn't "Fuck you" money yet. The percentage of people actually materially benefitting from the Trump admin right now is way, way smaller than that.

Why not answer a survey?

If you had millions/billions of dollars would you be answering any surveys?

Chances are they spend a fair amount of time looking for something to do

A lot of people do, I don't think they'd voluntarily choose to fill out surveys instead

I mean, it's something to do, right?
