If 27% of people disapprove of the Democratic Party, it doest't mean that 73% support Trump and the Republicans.

As others in this thread have noted, the disapprovals consist of both Trump supporters AND Democrats who are pissed at their party for not fighting back hard enough, which includes most of us here. Once we figure this out - and I truly believe we will - those numbers will change dramatically.
