Could you post the source of your numbers so I could see the poll, so I am not guessing at numbers and methodology? I could easily see democrats answers that yes to the poll, pending how it was done, and thus be that 20-25%. The verdict did not hurt DJT's voter base, and an appeal will follow in due time, and we will see how it plays out.
I called the take naive, not you individually. There is a difference. I focus on the action or statement and not the individual when I make statements like that for a reason. Someone making a naive statement does not make them inherently naive, just that particular statement.
Here is the Marist poll those numbers come from (which I didn't remember exactly correct because I was just basing it on recall memory from a summary article on the polling): https://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/NPR_PBS-NewsHour_Marist-Poll_USA-NOS-and-Tables_202405301406.pdf
Here is also a poll that Reuters/Ipsos did over the past couple of days on the topic: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/one-10-republicans-less-likely-vote-trump-after-guilty-verdict-reutersipsos-poll-2024-05-31/
