LOL, last year’s midterm more Americans voted Republican than Democratic. 54,506,136 to 51,477,313. Not presidential, but folks still vote Republican. In 2016 51.8% of Americans voted against Hillary Clinton, she did receive more votes than Trump, but that was forecasted in the polls.

Bush received 62,040,610 votes to Kerry’s 59,028,444, 50.7%, so most Americans voted for Bush. Bush received 500,000 less votes than Gore in 2000 true. Gore received 48.4% of the vote, so most Americans voted against him. Same for Bill Clinton in 1992, he also had most Americans voting against him.

I’d say it all depends on the candidates, especially today since independents, swing voters now make up 42% of the electorate. While the Republican Party has chugged along at an average of 27%, going up and down 3-4 points since Eisenhower, it’s been the Democratic Party that has shrunk. From 50% of the electorate in 1960, those who identified or affiliated themselves with the Democratic Party to 45% in 1980, down to 35% in 2000, to 30% today. Only 58% of all Americans now identify with both major party where it was 80% back in 1960 and as high as 70% in 2006. 2006 was the year in which independents began to skyrocket to the 42% Gallup states are independents today. Which simply means there’s a whole lot of people out there dissatisfied with both major parties. So much so, they have deserted them to become swing voters.

We’ve entered an era where independents, swing voters decide elections, not neither major party. Both major parties decide their nominees, a lot of times swing voters dislike both major party candidates which they end up voting for the candidate they least want to lose, not win, but least want to lose. I call these folks the anti-voters, those who vote against a candidate or party, but not for any candidate or party. Biden won these anti-voters 68-30 over Trump in 2020. These folks voted against Trump, not for Biden. Anyone not named Trump would have done. Trump won this group of anti-voters in 2016 which gave him his big wins in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. When one adds those, who voted third party to the anti-voters in 2016, you had 32% of the electorate voting against a candidate, be that Trump or Clinton, not voting for any candidate, just against. Such is today’s modern political era.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
