More questionable, though, was the way in which Clinton’s tweet (and Verrit’s value proposition) is framed: “a media platform for the 65.8 million.”

Those 65.8 million, of course, are the Americans who voted for Clinton in November, a figure that’s about 3 million more than voted for Trump. It’s just that Trump won by 78,000 combined votes in three states in the Midwest that were enough to hand him the electoral college and the White House.

The operating assumption of Clinton and Verrit seems to be that her base of support is 65.8 million people. Trump’s base of support, of course, is that venerable 30-some-odd percent of the voting population that views his presidency with approval and which powered him through the early Republican primaries.

It’s just that … Clinton’s base of fervent support probably isn’t any bigger.

After the election, Pew Research surveyed Americans and asked why they cast the votes they did. If they voted for her, did they like Clinton or simply dislike Trump? About 6 in 10 Clinton voters said they backed her because they liked her. More than a third voted for her because they didn’t like Trump. Among Trump voters, the split was about the same.

In other words, some 27 million of that number trumpeted by Clinton and Verrit was made up of people who weren’t particularly excited about her. Exit polling showed that, among the fifth of voters who viewed both Clinton and Trump unfavorably, nearly half ended up voting for Trump anyway. About 1 in 20 voters disliked Clinton and Trump and voted for her.

Among the groups that disliked both Clinton and Trump were an awful lot of Democratic men, as a George Washington University poll found after the election.

Verrit positions itself as being for the 65.8 million, and its social media posts mix pro-Clinton (and pro-Clinton-style Democratic politics) posts with anti-Trump ones. But both Verrit and Clinton appear to be eager to claim the mantle of that full number as an endorsement, which the polling above shows is probably not accurate.

If Clinton needed a reminder that all of her voters weren’t thrilled about her as a candidate, the reaction on social media to excerpts of her upcoming book would have made that clear. Below, an excerpt bashing the campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) from the progressive site Jacobin; our Aaron Blake analyzed another.

Last week, a spate of news articles noted that 12 percent of Sanders primary voters ended up voting for Trump in the general election. It’s a figure that was cited as proof that Sanders would have won in November, though that’s debatable. That percentage wasn’t very different from the percent of primary voters who’ve balked at the eventual victor in years past, and as NPR pointed out, in 2016 it included a lot of voters who didn’t identify as Democrats.

But the point remains: A lot of Americans — and a lot of Clinton voters — aren’t particularly enamored of her. In July, Bloomberg News asked Americans whether they had a favorable or unfavorable view of both Clinton and Trump. Trump’s numbers were 41 percent favorable and 55 percent unfavorable. Clinton’s? Thirty-nine percent favorable and 58 percent unfavorable.
