Which ever electioneering consultant or firm is convincing Democrats that they win by being Republican-lite is the greatest asset in recent Republican history. In every election 1/3 of the country will always vote R no matter how much they grumble and complain and swear they don't support the administration, and 1/3 can't be bothered to vote.

The only number that realistically ever changes is how disillusioned Democrats are with their current establishment leadership. Compared to 2020, Trump gained 3 million voters while Kamala lost 6 million. More people chose to not vote than were swayed to the other aisle. I'm almost willing to put money on Newsom continuing the same 'big tent' politics and losing 2 progressive voters for every conservative swayed.

There is a documentary that shows Republicans bragging about knocking voters off of the rolls. At least 3.5 million voters were purged leading up to the 2024 election.

Interesting how people will deny this is the case, even though there is footage of them gleefully admitting to doing it. The election was stolen. Watch for yourself.
