The real headline is that 20% of Republicans think so. Shocking.

"I think Trump should drop his campaign. But if he doesn't, I'm still voting for him, because I'll vote for that felon over any liberal"

Biden crime family are felons too, they just hid behind the law by only doing legal felonies!

... or something. I'm not batshit insane enough to understand the actual thought process.

That actually sounds about right, it's aligned with what my racist family says!

Trump’s unfavorability among Republicans has hovered around 20% for a while now.

The last poll considered in that link occurred on March 2-4. So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.

Yeah its going always takes a few weeks for news to become digested and show up in the polling. Always longer than the newsies and wonks think it should; 3-6 weeks some times.

20% of Republicans in the primaries were still voting for Nikki Haley, likely as a protest vote, even long-after Nikki dropped out.

So this is all within expectations. As usual, the Trump delusional refuses to accept reality. Its up to the rest of the country to band together and vote against him.

still voting for Nikki Haley

If Mr Trump eventually can't run, Ms Haley is the presumptive candidate, having won a primary somewhere. And it's too soon to launch another bid by anyone else.

Genius, really.

Although that tracks with the republicans that didn’t like him before the trial.
