29% is insanely low considering how much propaganda they spew and how much media they control.
I try to be "optimistic" because Trump is only going to make things worse, so even lower numbers are possible.
Even Truman was barely lower than this, though his were low because dipshit Americans fellated MacArthur who was a Trump-like figure in many ways. Fake bravado (he abandoned his troops in the Philippines when things got tough), shit talker who spewed bloodthirsty talking points (he wanted to drop 50 nukes on China during the Korean War), but wore cool shades and smoked a pipe, etc
Maga simply represents the shallow, indulgent narcissism at the root of American identity, especially in the shithole South. We've been like this for a long fucking time.
