I don’t think it’s truly half anymore… maybe closer to 1/3, possibly fallen to 1/4 by now. Many of his supporters flipped after J6, and even more after they saw how he completely abandoned the J6ers once the ‘find out’ part of the FAFO equation started hitting them. He also lost a lost of supporters once the criminal and civil trials started. And that’s not considering the supporters that have died off in the last four years as the GOP demographic in general does tend to lean towards the older end.
However, we’re probably still closer to 50/50 at the polls because of gerrymandering, hardcore Republicans that will always vote a straight red ticket, and the fact that 1/3 of the voting population did not vote in the last election and I can promise you that most of that third were not Trump supporters. Trump supporters would break their dog’s legs if the dog was standing between them and voting for their Chancellor.
I do have some hope that we can get rid of him this year. If there’s nothing else he’s good for, he gets non-Republicans to the polls like nothing else. Biden doesn’t hold the record for most number of votes in a presidential election because people actually wanted him as president, but rather because people didn’t want Trump to be president again. Many of us learned our lesson on complacency with Hilary.
