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.

I already accomplished 1 and 2. #2 I do if any of the funds go to rnc, if all goes to the candidate I might donate to the right candidate even if it's an R.
"About half of Republicans would not vote for Donald Trump if he were convicted of a felony."
The key here is Trumpers are only Republicans if Trump is the Republican nominee for president. Otherwise,look for a new and improved conservative party. Poop on polls. It's all smoke and mirrors,depending on the words you use. Trumps people are going to be faithful no matter what the Republican party does.
Exactly.
And in my humble opinion, Georgia might be setting the standard.
In a survey NO SALE Trump is ahead the numbers prove it.
As I said...the source was Reuters. You have every right to believe their skewed polls and reporting. As for me: BS.
I would vote for Trump even if they assasinated him.
