Things are starting to move again.
the public backlash would be enormous
Sure, but I'm dealing with the process that's available to him, nothing else. Though to be more specific to your point, the backlash would be enormous from those who already disapprove of him. He would not receive backlash from the 42% of the country that supports him now.
I was just told by a Trump supporter that the death of the man in Trump Tower was worth the three million dollars he saved on fire sprinklers. Y'all need to let that sink in.
There is nowhere near 42% of the country who supports this clown
They really should make the special prosecutor a permanent position. Doing so would insure that the Executive branch never again has co-equal authority to the Legislative and Judicial branches. As long as the people are free to elect someone like Trump there is a danger that, without appropriate oversight, the Executive will be an embarrassment to the political establishment and to our standing as a nation in the international community. We must insure that Congress protects us from ourselves and the only way we can do that is to implement a process by which they can approve our electoral decisions and, when necessary, deny them.

the backlash would take the form of public demonstration: political marches on washington, protests everywhere.
and it would probably not be limited to day only events, the protests would last days and possibly weeks.

Thats an average, thanks in part to Rasmussen. You have polls as low as 38%.
1. I don't look at the polls that give me the rosy numbers that make me happy. The average is the most sober and real-world estimate you're going to have.
2. 538's crew adjusts for biased polling methods.
Elections are not won or lost on averages.
Uh, no.
He can't do that.
Okay, but that's really outside my point, which is the process that's available to him.
If the backlash creates a change in the control of Congress, then that changes the calculus and we're dealing with an entirely different set of variables. The calculus right now is that Trump can fire every man, woman, child and dog within Federal reach (who isn't elected or appointed to a life time position) and Congress wouldn't do anything.
They sure as **** aren't won or lost on outliers.
Just this morning, on Morning Joe, they discussed a poll that showed that 70% of Americans wanted the Mueller investigation to continue, and only 15% wanted it to end.

Not quite right.
Except for the first week of his term of office, Mr. Trump's "Approval Rating" has remained consistently in the 39(+/-3.5)% range and that range does encompass 42%.

Point 1, He can not pardon himself.
Point 2. Nuclear option.. State charges. He can not pardon state charges.

Is this law written down and has a precedent addressed this?
Point one...depends on who you ask. Mueller already said Trump isn't under suspicion.
Most reputable poll aggregateors do not use Rasmussen due to Rasmussen's pronounced GOP bias.
It's one of those things the Supreme Court would go with "No, he can't, because that would be unbelievably stupid."
