Trump got 51% of the vote in Iowa. What they don't tell you is.......

Only 14.4% of all registered Republicans voted at the Iowa primary. So trump got 51% of 14.4% of the Republicans in Iowa........or he got 7.2% of Iowa's GOP primary votes. UNDER whelming to say the least.

And here we go around and around.
If this is indicative on a national scale youre about to see a President elected with 30% vote share when only 2/3 of the country bothered to turn out and vote.

Somethings not right somewhere

@Picklebobble2 Voter turnout even for presidential elections is traditionally low. In 2020 approximately 60% of eligible Americans voted. The figure of those that voted in 2020...was the highest percentage to ever vote in a presidential election. By all accounts the record turnout was less to election Biden than it was to make sure trump did not win a second term based on the number of crossover votes in traditional Red areas of various key states. At least 5 key states went from solid Red to Purple....and two Red states went to very Blue in 2020.
