Its not as much of a shock as it was in 2016. People really didn't expect him to win based on the polls showing Hillary with solid leads in the blue wall states. This time, the polls were showing more of an even race, and Trump outperformed the polls in 2016 and 2020, when he was further down to Biden than he was to Hillary, and just barely lost.

I don't discount the general appeal of Trump's America First agenda. But the main thrust seems to be in improving things for the average American that went sideways.....but from exactly when did that start? The logical answer to me is that policies of both parties have been a failure in that regard based on things like trade, immigration, foreign aid, wars, etc. Unfortunately, it seems that voters of either party will reflexively blame the other for the country's woes. I ask, again....if Trump had ran as a Dem in 2016 and beaten Hillary in the primaries espousing the same policies, how many GOP voters would've chosen him over, say, Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio in a general election?
