What should be a concern is the strength of the feelings of the polled individuals. The number of people who feel “strongly” in opposition or support to Trump is astronomical. Some 71% who approve feel strongly and 81% of those who disapprove are strongly. Those type of voters do not tend to shift.
Some 45% believe that Trump should be impeached and removed from office while 53% are against impeachment.
The divide between the parties is also extraordinary. Only 6 percent of Democrats and only 37 percent of independent support Trump. Yet, 89 percent of Republicans approve of Trump and 92% thought he should not be impeached.
Of course, the Democrats are rapidly moving to the far left on many issues, a dynamic that could help Trump in the general election. Moreover, these figures show that Trump could not spend a dime on the primaries and sail to victory — saving his money for the general. That is not a luxury open to the candidates in a crowded Democratic field.
