Donald Trump is not as popular as everyone thinks

On Super Tuesday, the former president lost the state of Vermont and more than 2 million votes to Nikki Haley.

Despite resounding victories on Super Tuesday, there are indications that Donald Trump is still struggling to get strong, united Republican support, which he may need in the presidential election.

Speaking to CNN about the Super Tuesday results, columnist and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast said: "There is a real ‘Never Trump’ contingent, and remember, Trump is a primary candidate. He has only ever tried to appeal to Republican primary voters, and he cannot marshal that group together the way he needs to.

“Part of his trick in 2016 was, he got these low-frequency voters out, these people who almost never voted, which is why the polling was so off, and you’re just not seeing that same type of enthusiasm.”

    Despite resounding victories on Super Tuesday, there are indications that Donald Trump is still struggling to get strong, united Republican support, which he may need in the presidential election.

    Trump is all but certain to clinch the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination, setting up a rematch with President Joe Biden in November, after dominating the busiest day of the primary calendar with easy victories in more than a dozen states on March 5.

    Trump has been the overwhelming favorite to win the 2024 GOP nomination throughout the primary season—with Super Tuesday’s results further cementing this.

    However, the former president is still losing a significant number of votes to a more moderate Republican candidate, and there is no guarantee voters will support him in the general election, which could be a warning sign for the 77-year-old.

    Olivia Perez-Cubas, a campaign spokesperson for Haley, said in a statement that the results across the country Tuesday shows there is a “large block” of Republican primary voters who are “expressing deep concerns” about the potential of Trump returning to the White House.

    In a speech at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump said his clear lead in the GOP primary turned what is usually the most eagerly anticipated day of the presidential nomination season into a foregone conclusion.
