Heck, even if the poll is terribly skewed and only 32% of repubs would jump ship, that would still spell disaster in the short term for the GOP, that is, if they resist the urge to jump ship themselves.

That would be a short lived party. Fact is that Trump is old like Biden. I’d give him at best another 10 years, if he’s lucky, considering his age and weight. Not to mention potential long lasting covid effects. After that the party would fall apart due to a lack of leadership. There are plenty of extremists who would jump into the race. However I doubt there would ever be anyone who could truly unify them after Trump. Slightly less extremists would likely fall back in line with republicans while the true extremists would be relegated to a minority position that won’t even get a fair shot in debates making them little different then any other 3rd party. The Republican Party in general would suffer for decades after that as well.
