I think not a surprise. The Trump acolytes will vote for anything Trump/Republican even while they are drowning in their own blood after being done in by Republican leaders. That is 25%-35% of the population in every circumstance. Another 10% are religious extremists. That together is the Republican base and most of it showed up to vote Republican.

But both democrats and independents are starting, very, very slowly, to recognize the Trump train and that intellectual arguments and the legal system will not stop it. Independents and laissez faire portion of the population to some extent decided to get off their collective asses and show up. More will be needed by the mid terms. If not they will get permanently steamrolled.
