What's the point: Trump has made a clear play during his presidency of satisfying the Republican base, and the polling indicates that this effort is clearly paying off. You can see this in the ABC News/Washington Post poll . Dating back to 2000, no Republican ever had more than 91% of Republicans backing him at this point in ABC News/Washington Post polling. Both of those are lower than any Republican at this point in ABC News/Washington Post polling dating back to 2000. There is, in other words, a lot more potential support for Trump outside the core Republican base.
