Former President Donald Trump didn't quite live up to his polling numbers in the Republican primaries. Yes, he swept past his GOP opponents, but his actual vote totals were often lower than his polling suggested.

There's a strange disjunction in the discourse about the 2024 elections. On the one hand, when presented with the proposition “Trump can win," it seems increasingly likely based on current polling data.
