I remember during the campaign people made various claims about Trump’s “ceiling” being in that range too. It looks like you might have been one of those people, but maybe I’m misreading it:

(When looking at the averages I see that Trump is hitting a ceiling at 43%, the 40%-37% seems to be the current American crazification factor.) As for the other Americans, the last poll from CNN today came showing Clinton ahead by 9 points.
