    That’s why I specifically said non-Republicans.

    Edit: here, I’ll walk you through the math. The article says 70% of Republicans approved of him and 33% of everyone approved of him. Republicans make up ~30% of the population. 70% of 30% is 21%. That leaves 12% unaccounted for (33-21). So 12% out of everyone both approves of him and doesn’t identify as a Republican, while 21% out of everyone both approves of him and identifies as Republican. The remaining 67% of everyone doesn’t approve of him whether or not they identify as a Republican.
