One of your best.
Most trump voters I know had at least two motives: 1. greed. Even blue collar workers think they're getting a raise or an old-style job opportunity, or at least eliminate the immigrant "competition," etc.; top 1% greed obvious, and 2. belief, i.e., emotionally invested conclusions that compensate for unconscious and intolerable fears, e.g. of dying ('it's miserable here but heaven is waiting,' we are not happy but at least we are superior in race, gender, etc.) and other survival-related fears.
There is a third motivation, 'let's shake things up for just these 4 years, it can't be worse than the democrat hegemony'. These latter, I think, are imminently persuadable and are reflected in the changing poll numbers you cite. Good, but not enough yet to pressure members of congress.
Trump voters are our shortest route to getting him out or handcuffed. In that way, they are our best resource now.
We're not going to persuade people deeply hostaged by unrealistic and rigid beliefs by balling them out. Rather, ask, 'what, specifically, do you expect to show up that will improve your life, and by when. What will be early signposts this is happening, or not happening' Then measure and report, of which you do a great job.
That's the best score card that will matter, short of a Russia or corruption scandal combined with the one-two punch of 'indivisible' style (nonviolent, progressive) public communications coupled with the courts strong stand.
The poll you cite is encouraging, thanks.
