Fractions have steadily peeled off that base over the last two years though--Black evangelicals, some women and the "integrity" lobby (see The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump: 30 Evangelical Christians on Justice, Truth, and Moral Integrity). He has lost a lot of the Catholic vote, for whom "all lives matter," not just the unborn, but he still gets around 80% unquestioned support from Evangelicals.

I think it depends on what you mean by "actively support". I have no doubt that a majority will VOTE for him but I'm not going to debate with you on what "actively support" means.
My point was that there's a difference between supporting/tolerating and loving him.
