irreticent , 14 days ago 49% of the americans More accurately, 49% of voters. Out of all of the eligible voters in the 2020 election only 66% actually voted. And, that election had the highest turnout in over a century. So when trying to calculate how many eligible voters voted for Trump in 2020 you'll have to take the statistics above into consideration. 49% of 66% is 32% if my math is correct. 32% of eligible voters voted for Trump. Sorry for being pedantic but it annoys me when people say that half of America supports Trump when it's just not true.
