...an even lower one for Trump voters which hasn't broken anywhere near a majority.

Take a look at the polls showing 70% to 90% (edit black and Latino vote for Hillary. That's not reflected in polling samples which show a close race.

Take a look at where Obama was in his elections. Hillary is outpolling him by a pretty decent margin across the board at this point in the race.
