Statistics, statistics political bane
Purporting predictions of losses and gains
It’s really no wonder
It’s all in the numbers
Based on objectives it’s what one obtains
There is one statistic that’s often misleading
Concerning approval of Trump in his dealings
The number of voters
Among G.O.P.ers
Is eight points and eighty percent, quite revealing
That number’s been growing; the news has been stating
The worse Trump’s offenses the higher his ratings
One’s own intuition
Would see contradiction
Except for one factor in what they’re equating
Percentages grow under different conditions
One hundred times A over B: definition
A, larger can finish
Or B can diminish
The ratio increases. It’s this recognition
Which leads me to think that what’s happening here
A fraction of Trump’s loyal base disappears
With each of Trump’s screw ups
In anger hands flew up
Percentages increase which Trumpians cheer
