About half of Republicans would not vote for Donald Trump if he were convicted of a felony, a sign of the severe risks his legal problems pose for his 2024 U.S. presidential bid, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday.
*** The two-day Reuters/Ipsos poll asked respondents if they would vote for Trump for president next year if he were "convicted of a felony crime by a jury." Among Republicans, 45% said they would not vote for him, more than the 35% who said they would. The rest said they didn't know.
Asked if they would vote for Trump if he were "currently serving time in prison," 52% of Republicans said they would not, compared to 28% who said they would. ***
The new poll showed that Republicans broadly sympathize with Trump's accusations of political persecution. Seventy-five percent of Republican respondents agreed with a statement that the charges against Trump were "politically motivated." Twenty percent disagreed and the rest said they didn't know.
About two-thirds of Republicans - 66% - described as "not believable" the accusation in Trump's latest indictment that he solicited election fraud. Twenty-nine percent said it was believable and the rest were not sure.
Republican respondents also described themselves as more likely to withhold their votes on Election Day from an unnamed convicted felon than one named Donald Trump. When asked how a felony conviction would affect their voting in an abstract sense, 71% of Republicans said they would not vote for the convict, compared to 52% if it were Trump.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted nationwide, gathering responses online from 1,005 U.S. adults. It had a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of about four percentage points.

Which is EXACTLY why the Demunists are deploying this insane lawfare stratagem.
Agree 101%
I never did think O.J. Simpson was innocent. Courts are full of flaws.
LIARS.
Even some democrats I know are realizing that this political lynching is only to keep eyes off the crackhead son.
Poll versus poll.
Why would other polls show him far ahead of DeSantis,Pence, Vivek and the rest. By double digits. How many GOP replies could add up to being against Trump in this one?
Still joyfully spreading enemy propaganda I see.
Tokyo Rose.
Me no believe. Reuters is a push-poll organization.
It is a freaking miracle when courts ever do get anything right.
Just a guess, but I suspect the families named Bush,McCain,Cheney,Romney probably voted for Hillary and Biden.
Those Republicans are the royalty that Trump exposed as Swamp first,last and always
R team co owns the swamp.
It’s got lots of Never Trump attitude at its core from every state in the banana republic..
Bullshiite
The very fact that they are trying to spin this narrative is proof in itself that they are scared of him.
All assets deployed
I will vote for Trump in Tennessee as many times as I can.
I will write him in if necessary.
Well, they better make sure he is convicted regardless of the evidence.
BS - Fake News.
About 95% of people with a brain don’t trust the media.
.
I think 96% of the US Senate will do everything in their Power to get Trump.

The article is the Dem Talking points.
Nothing more.
Same people that said Joe was the most ethical President ever
