As I see it, there are approximately 27% who call themselves republicans

35% who call themselves democratic

And roughly 40% who say they are independent

(Yes, I am aware that adds to 102, but there are +/- for errors)

The way I see it, if 80% of republicans are sticking with trump, there is a far greater majority that is done done done with the lying piece of unrecyclable 💩

It's probably close to that.

If it wasn't, Trump would not be POTUS.

This next election will be decided by
which side is more believable.

Get Out and Vote people. Don't count
on Impeachment, it's a dream.
