39. Trump's legitimacy crisis is located not in the 25% who will never abandon him, but in the 35%+

who will never support him under any circumstances, period.

Trump has absolutely and irrevocably lost large swaths of the country, especially in the big urban areas. Millions of people won't even bother listening to a word he says anymore. We are in the midst of a legitimacy crisis that is unprecedented in American history, outside, perhaps of the Civil War. While the media is weirdly obsessed with the 25% die-hard Trumpers, they are missing the real story. A third of the country has abandoned the Executive Branch altogether.
