Trump voters stood by Trump in the midterms — but there just aren’t enough of them
Back in 2016, Donald Trump got about 46 percent of the vote nationally, 2 percentage points less than Hillary Clinton. But his support was so artfully distributed that he earned the crucial electoral votes of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
Two years later, his party got creamed in elections of the US House of Representatives, losing 35 to 40 seats despite a map whose geography favors the GOP even more strongly than the Electoral College does. It looks like, though, when all the votes from California are in, Republicans will have earned just about 46 percent of the vote nationally — almost exactly the same share as two years ago.
All that diner journalism about how Trump voters still like Trump was, in other words, pretty much on the money (at least in the aggregate). It’s just that it didn’t matter.
There were never enough Trump voters to form a majority of the electorate. And that, more than suburban backlash or anything else, is what did in Republicans on Tuesday. The Trump voters stood by Trump and voted Republican, but this time around, everyone else voted for the Democrats. And the Democrats won.

Trump has women peeling off., suburbs leaving him and people he offends on a daily basis. He is not building a bigger following and he lost the popular vote last time. This election the rust belt fled Daffy too. He is in real trouble.

Oh well, with a study like that, who can argue. He can be elected til he dies if you say so.

Between 6 and 7.5% more citizens voted Dems than Pubs in the elections, so the following is true: Trump voters stood by Trump in the midterms — but there just aren’t enough of them.
