Exclusive – Indictment Backfire: Poll Shows Majority of Americans Think Charges Will Either Help Trump or Have No Effect [Super Majority -- 74%]
Breitbart ^ | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 03/24/2023 10:05:26 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

New polling suggests that a majority of Americans believe a looming indictment of former President Donald Trump from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will backfire and either not hurt him or actually help him in his quest to retake the White House.

The results of the poll, conducted by Convention of States Action in conjunction with the Trafalgar Group, were obtained by Breitbart News exclusively ahead of their public release. These results appear to be the first polling numbers conducted fully after Trump announced last weekend that he expected to be charged imminently, and show the solid majorities of Americans believe the indictment will not hurt Trump at all.

New @trafalgar_group/@COSProject poll (3/20-22) reveals 74.3% of #Americans think a potential #TrumpIndictment would help or not affect his campaign. Only 25.7% think it would hurt.

Hurt by Party:

42.7% Dems
11.3% GOP
27.5% Inds

A whopping 74 percent of Americans believe that an indictment of Trump either helps him or will have no effect on his presidential campaign — 37.5 percent said it will not affect him and 36.8 percent said it will help him. Only 25.7 percent of voters surveyed think it will hurt his presidential campaign.

“It’s obvious to the majority of Americans that former President Trump is being hounded by a politically motivated witch hunt designed to discredit him in order to render him a permanent pariah in American politics,” Mark Meckler, the president of Convention of States, said. “This tactic has never worked, and these early numbers already reveal it’s going to backfire. Voters either think his indictment and arrest will either have absolutely no impact on his 2024 bid, or that it will even boost his campaign.”

Gives him a ton of street cred with blacks and Latinos. They’ll look at him as a total bad a$$.

Probably an astronomically high amount.

Rational goals of this sort of lawfare are to break the spirit or break the budget of the targeted politician, to force him out. In Trump’s case, neither is likely to succeed.

An irrational goal is just to torment him, for hate’s sake. That’s seem to be what is operative here.

I read somewhere equating arresting Trump to arresting Tupac. It just made him bigger and he sold more records. Same would happen with Trump. Would only make him bigger.

I think the goal in persistent villainous public harassment is to lay the circumstance for a loony to take him out.

Most people can recognize when the law is being used to attack someone. They know it has nothing to do with a crime and everything to do with politics. The left has been attacking president Trump with baseless lies for 6 years. Every accusation has been exposed as a lie that was created by corrupt democrats. They attack president Trump for jay walking while they ignore Joe Biden selling America out to communist China for millions in dirty money.

“I think the goal in persistent villainous public harassment is to lay the circumstance for a loony to take him out.”

I agree... worked when they put Johnson in so he could replace Kennedy. (JFK had declared war on deep state.)

They had to replace Agnew with Ford before taking out Nixon with the CIA Watergate frame up.

They put deep state Bush in to replace Reagan, but Hinkley failed.

This is why Trump should consider Carrie Lake rather than DeSantis.

Could it be that Trump is the first real black president? Used to be Clinton because of his women. Obamha didn’t really count. Now, in Trump, he’s got his women,he talks A LOT of trash, he doesn’t back down from anyone and they gonna lock his a$$ up on trumped up charges. That some black folks stuff right there y’all.

It shouldn’t be a public opinion poll. If there’s evidence of wrong doing, prosecute. If not, drop it.

Sure it is. Probably the best comparison one could make. Tupac was very much respected exactly because of his thugishness and police record.

If he is indicted, does he have to switch parties and run as a democrat?
