Is a part of the "tepid" attitude connected to that while Trump's approval rating low so is also the Democrats? I.e. the people who didn't think they had a good enough side to give their vote is still a factor? In Europe, where there are a couple of extremist parties that made it into parliament's, not maybe to dominate enough to hold government positioned level but maybe enough to have influence as a needed support party to government. And before this happened there was often a drop in voting numbers. In Sweden where I live they used to count the "blank" votes (where people had submitted a vote that was blank, as in not voting for any party, neither old nor new, or independent person etc). These have been sort of disappointment votes by people who still care about democratic procedures. Some decades ago they stopped counting them and put them into the "invalid" votes. But whoever, after some years with increased absence voters the far right "Sweden Democrats". And it appears as if they drew voters from the more established parties who in many ways had started to mimic eachother's viewpoints some time before (eager to please a percieved urban middle-class). They got voters from both the major established parties, the social democrats (who some thought were moving too far right with deregulation) and the moderate conservatives (who some thought were becoming too lax on the social security programs).
