Seems like fear and loathing is keeping a big chunk of his support base intact; fear of the terrorists, loathing of those who don't get with the program.
Fear, being a negative emotion, is not the kind of thing that's going to get people out in a big parade or march to support him - what if there were some kind of terror alert?
Quite a few will probably "run the gauntlet" to their voting booth and then run back home and lock the doors.
