[OT] While I am also disturbed by how much support Donald Trump 
has gotten, 40% is a great exaggeration.

According to the national polls tracked by Real Clear Politics, 
Trump currently has about 43% of the *Republican* vote - which 
itself is only about 30% of the *national* vote, meaning that his 
real support is ~13%. (Most years, about 40% of the country 
refuses/chooses not to endorse either candidate in the general 
election for President.)

Admittedly, that number will certainly go up if he gets the 
Republican nomination - but even among those who do vote, many on 
both sides of the aisle regard themselves as choosing "the lesser 
of two evils", as opposed to truly *approving* of their candidate.
