Are you deliberately trying to manipulate?

All the research clearly shows that higher turnout would have led to an even better result for Trump.

And the American polls are little more than a reflection of the less and less popular mainstream media's position and weakly correlate with what Americans actually do. We've already seen this twice in elections won by Trump: Americans follow the media, say how they disapprove of Trump, but then go out and vote for him.

I’m only aware of one data point: unlike comparable elections, the Republican won voters who did not participate in 2020. Sounds like you’ve seen other research?

There's nothing to manipulate. The majority of the US electorate is politically and literally illiterate. That's why their voting patterns are based almost entirely on the current economic sentiment, not the media.

Biden denied a worsening economic situation for the average American, and the response was Trump winning the election.

Trump has made the economic situation even worse, and his support is tanking. Which is why republican candidates are currently losing in landslides and we're breaking protest records.
