English Synonyms and Antonyms
popular
Common signifies frequently occurring, not out of the regular course, not exceptional; hence, not above the average, not excellent or distinguished, inferior, or even low; common also signifies pertaining to or participated in by two or more persons or things; as, sorrow is common to the race. General may signify pertaining equally to all of a class, race, etc., but very commonly signifies pertaining to the greater number, but not necessarily to all. Universal applies to all without exception; general applies to all with possible or comparatively slight exceptions; common applies to very many without deciding whether they are even a majority. A common remark is one we often hear; a general experience is one that comes to the majority of people; a universal experience is one from which no human being is exempt. It is dangerous for a debater to affirm a universal proposition, since that can be negatived by a single exception, while a general statement is not invalidated even by adducing many exceptions. We say a common opinion, common experience, a general rule, general truth, a universal law. Compare synonyms for NORMAL; USUAL.

How to use popular in a sentence?
We believe the midterm elections have shown that the Democratic Party overall is more popular with voters than the President, and that GOP extremism is not attractive to most voters. A different Democrat at the head of the ticket will have a better chance of winning the White House in 2024. We'll be taking that message across the country, beginning in New Hampshire.
I was really surprised at how much criticism there was of literally the most popular, most recent two-term American president, we should be looking forward as a party more than we're looking backward.
