First we must bear in mind that although Trump won the electoral college, 3 million American voters voted against him........regardless of the pathetic crying that 3 millions illegals voted against him in 2016, (BTW, whatever happened to Trump's "special commission" on voters' fraud???)
So, the question arises if this so-called, scandal-ridden administration after 3 miserable years of tweeting, lies, cabinet resignations, false promises and empty demagoguery, has Trump gained a noteworthy "new" constituency????
Sure, wealthy folks benefited substantially from his tax scam....pocketing 86% of Trump's $1.4 Trillion increase in US debt, but besides his loyal cult followers, and spineless elected republicans, has any new, constituency group arisen???
Remember that states like MI, WI and PA defied popular sanity and helped Trump gain their electoral votes, but will those same 3 states back him again or return to vivid blue.
Trump got elected largely on the strength of the Reagan coalition and a uninspired turnout by Democrat voters. Trump has shattered the Reagan coalition. Enough suburban voters reluctantly voted for Trump to give him a win. However we saw the suburban component move into the Democrat column. That occurred even in red states.
Michigan and Pennsylvania are firmly in the Democrat column. Republicans are facing problems in Georgia, Arizona and Texas. Suburban women are a especially big problem for Republicans as they have supported Democrat candidates including male candidates by a larger margin than Clinton did.
This is the map as I see it right now.
