Last spring, Pew had a report showing 24% R, 28% D, & 48% I (or a declared 3rd party)
95% of 28 is 25.2; 15% of 24 is 3.6; 57% of 48 is 27.36. Those add up to 56.16. Pretty darned close to what they're suggesting.
One odd thing you may have noticed but didn't comment on, is the part about indictments not changing opinions of him. If somebody already loathed him, and already suspected he did the things in the indictment, of course it wouldn't make you think less of him. Zero is a hard floor.
