This Republican pollster says it is:

Republican pollster Frank Luntz says the most "amazing statistic" to him is the fact that half of Trump's voters want him to keep fighting over election 2020.

"They want him to continue to fight right up to the inauguration," he told the BBC.

He says this passion, even in the face of evidence, explains what happened during the riot last week.

Luntz also warns that "there's a danger that the Republican party actually splits in half" post-Trump - and as things stands, at the moment, "there are more people who'd go with Trump".
From BBC live, at 22:46.

Granted he thinks the Trump supporting half is bigger, but he clearly sees a risk in the party splitting “in half”.
