For the last year, ever since Donald Trump announced his run for a second non-consecutive term as president, the political pundits have told each other that "No one is paying attention." They did that for one reason only - because Trump has been consistently ahead in the polls, and the pundits didn't want to believe that voters might actually send Trump back to the White House.
These elites think they know more than you do, and since they believe Trump is an autocrat, a dictator, an evil self-obsessed criminal - take your pick - then they have to believe you aren't paying attention because despite all their negative commentary, you the voters still want Trump back as president.
In a couple of polls in the following three months, DeSantis came within a point or two of Trump, but that was his high-water mark.
In the last Harvard-Harris poll in November 2023, Trump led DeSantis by 58 points.
Virtually every poll in the last three months has Trump ahead by 40 to 50 points.
All along, the talking heads on MSNBC and CNN persisted in claiming that Trump is beating DeSantis and Nikki Haley because voters aren't yet paying attention.
So what are voters paying attention to? As the polls show, they have been paying attention to the persecution of Donald Trump by his political opponents, and they don't like it.
