Harvard Poll: Most Voters Say Trump Indictment Is Election Interference, Believe He’ll Be Acquitted
Breitbart ^ | 17 Jun 2023 | Nick Gilbertson

Majorities of registered voters believe that special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of former President Donald Trump is “politically motivated” and election interference, according to a Harvard/Harris poll.

A portion of the poll, which was conducted after Trump’s arraignment, gauged public perception of the 37-count indictment relating to classified documents Trump allegedly took to Mar-a-Lago at the end of his presidency.

Of the registered voter respondents, 55 percent believe that the indictment is “politically motivated” versus 45 percent who find it “valid.”

Similarly, 56 percent of the participants categorize the indictment as “interference by the Department of Justice in the 2024 elections,” and only 44 percent see it as “the fair application of the law”:

Moreover, the majority of respondents, 57 percent, believe the 45th president will be acquitted on the charges, the vast majority of which fall under the Espionage Act of 1917.

The poll also asked voters about President Joe Biden’s documents case – where classified materials from his time as vice president have been located at his personal residence and the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC – as well as Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.

I guess we will see how many voters are on the jury.

In a lawful society, it is…

However, we no longer have a lawful society (or government)

John Adams:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Which we do not have as of 2023.

Yes, this is election interference. It’s a Stalinist tactic that should alarm every American.
And no, Trump will not be acquitted. The Deep State wants Trump convicted. So convicted he will be.

After that, I don’t have a clue. Literally anything could happen.

ABC News poll or this one or neither, is right.

ABC—
Nearly half — 48% — of Americans think Trump should have been charged in this case, whereas 35% think he should not have been and 17% saying they do not know, per the ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

Not surprisingly, an overwhelming majority (86%) of self-identified Democrats believe the former president should have been charged. On the other hand, Republicans remain mostly loyal to Trump, with two in three (67%) saying the former president and current frontrunner for the Republican nomination should not have been charged. Independents are more divided, with 45% believing he should have been charged, a third saying he should not have been, and 22% saying they don’t know.

I assume this trial is already prearranged and the outcome about 90% determined. The best Trump can hope for on that count is a hung jury returning no verdict. Then he can try to prevail on the prosecution to drop the case, which they will not do. By that time the publicity may have reached such a crescendo that the Biden admin has to call the whole thing off. The judges will do whatever the Biden regime tells them to do.

We can only hope and pray he is acquitted.

This Harvard Harris poll is great news, shows Biden with only 55% of the black vote.

If it’s any indication of voter sentiment at election time, Trump will not only get an EV majority, he will win all 50 states.

James Madison, our system requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.”

Here’s a thought: when “Harvard Harris” comes around to ask questions, lie to them!
Tell them the truth and they use what they learn about you against you. These polls are designed to gauge how their evil policies are working and to determine how best to optimize them.
Lie to pollsters. Never tell the truth.

Jack Smith has a history of politically motivated mischief before. Remember he worked with Lois Lerner.

You will be disappointed and Trump will either be aquitted or declared a mistrial.

Ha, yes. Whenever a pollster calls me, I tell them that I’m a royalist and I want the British crown to control America.

That seems to confuse them. I guess there’s no relevant box to check on their response sheet.

Rule Brittania!

That’s easy, it’s a stalinist purge.

The tyranny and oppression has already shown is face and manifestations. It will only progressively get worse.

This obamian weaponization has had a 8 to 10 year start and it’s just being recognized now. That’s why he’s having a third term with his shadow government and why Biden is just a straw man.

I prefer sock puppet to lighten the significance.

Its about the death to America agenda.

Yes, indeed. The prosecution will be very careful. They will accept only those jurors who have an anti-Trump bias. The fix will be in. But an honest juror or two might slip through. Then it’s a hung jury.
