What is more significant is the reaction of the other Trump supporters who showed up on Jan 6, broke into the Capitol and gleefully posted selfies and videos of themselves rifling through desks, chanting threats or confronting police only to now find themselves under criminal investigation. They seem stunned that what they did is wrong, since they thought they were simply following directives from the Commander in Chief. Disillusionment is setting in, especially as Trump has tried to distance himself, and this helps explain the lack of enthusiasm for demonstrations on Inauguration Day.
As for the polls, the general public has a very low opinion of Trump, although his popularity remains sky high among Republicans. Membership in the GOP is on the decline, so the group of actual Trump supporters in America is small and will be shrinking further as investigations on Trump ramp up.
