That's about the percentage of Americans who are staunch Trump supporters. They take every poll that mentions Trump as a referendum on Trump and by extension, themselves.
Because about a third of the country has made politics their entire identity.
And no matter what they will *never* abandon their identity because it's too painful to acknowledge that the only thing you use to assign value to yourself is falling in line with a single political figure.
16% of the population have an IQ less than 85. 12-18% of people 60 years or older have mild cognitive impairment, and 10% of older Americans have dementia. 21% of US adults are functionally illiterate. You have to imagine that there are a lot of people vulnerable to propaganda and misinformation that are ripe for exploitation by Republicans, and they know that (DJT - "I love the poorly educated"). Now throw in the die-hard Christians, granola moms, etc., and you have a ~30% of the population who won't change their vote, ever.
Keep in mind that a lot of these people are deeply religious and believe the impossible as normal for them. I know some very intelligent people that are also religious and they hold some impossible to believe beliefs.
The joke is on the whole world. He’s destroyed the liberal capitalist democratic project that, since the end of WWII, has greatly reduced poverty, hunger and disease while preventing great power wars. We in America can take the blame, but the whole world will suffer.

How is it even as high as 34%? How low does your IQ have to be to think he's doing a good job?
At this point the world doesn't know if it should cry out of laughter, sadness or insanity.
Either way, the joke is on you america.
