If half the people have below average intelligence, half the people have above average intelligence. So what does that explain?

I think the support for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, is, at least in large part, explained because people on both sides of the major political divide are utterly fed up with the system/establishment, yet they are afraid to abandon the two major parties because they know they are the only parties that have a chance of winning. And Trump and Sanders allow people to have their cake and eat it too in this way. Supporting them feels like a rejection of the status quo, without the risk of abandoning the Republican and Democratic parties.

No, disgust for the status quo explains this election.

Which group are we speaking of? Everyone? Persons over the age of 18? Persons who are registered to vote?

Boredom, idiocy, the progressive dumbing down of the country and stamping out of intelligent thought, lack of quality candidates, outdatedness of strictly two party system. Pick your favorite, they're all the reason.
