Just under half of Republicans would not vote for former President Donald Trump in 2024 if he is convicted of a felony, according to a new poll.
In a survey conducted on Wednesday and Thursday, 45% of Republicans nationwide said if Trump was "convicted of a felony crime by a jury," they would not vote for him.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll also revealed that 35% indicated that they would vote for him regardless. All others said they didn't know.
More than half of Republicans, 52%, said they wouldn't vote for Trump if he were "currently serving time in prison." Still, 28% said the former president would still have their vote.
Despite this, 75% of respondents agreed that the indictments brought against him were politically motivated. Two-thirds further said they don't believe the most recent indictment's assertion that Trump sought to perpetrate election fraud in an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to special counsel Jack Smith's four new charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.
Even as roughly half of Republicans say a conviction would deter their vote, the former president has seen boosts in support in Republican primary polls on each occasion that he has been indicted or received a target letter foreshadowing an imminent indictment.
In one of several posts on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump alluded to these bumps in support, saying, "I NEED ONE MORE INDICTMENT TO ENSURE MY ELECTION!"

So when Trump talked about charging Biden the examiner was all “election interference, Trumps a dictator…”
But now they Biden personally ordered Trump charged it’s “Trump will lose his popularity if he’s found guilty!”
Double standards much?
It’s a cooked poll.

Not buying it. I wasn’t a trump supporter but all this crap has changed my mind.
“according to a new poll.”
no link to poll, no demographics for the poll.
So, junk.
Here let me...
.
In a survey conducted on Wednesday and Thursday, 97% of Republicans nationwide said if Trump was “convicted of a felony crime by a jury,” they would absolutely vote for him.
In follow-up questioning of supporters nearly 100% of poll respondents advised they do not believe any of the “lies of the doj and fbi” and want PDJT back in office to bring real charges to the neo-communist administration currently holding the real government offices hostage to LGB selling out to the CCP.
.
See how easy it is?
Make up bogus numbers, call it a “poll” and don’t publish it anywhere (because it does not exist.)
.
Trump is doing this because he loves America and the American people.
Ron DeSantis is doing it as a career move.
if this evil works and the convict Trump in a kangaroo court, America is completely finished. We are China. I’m disgusted by this site and rarely come here anymore. So many still asleep
It's not difficult to believe that at least some who voted for him in 2020 won't do so if he's been convicted.OTOH,it's hard to imagine anyone who didn't vote for him in 2020 would do so next year if he's been convicted.
I can appreciate your opinion, but I’m not typically in the business of questioning peoples maotives…
Its a frame job.
Maybe some will come to realize it.
Rubbish poll:
“gathering responses online from 1,005 U.S. adults.”
(1) Online
(2) US adults
It needs to be phone or in person contact.
It should be registered voters or *active* voters.
“US adults” picks up illegals, non-citizens, felons, low info types, etc— i.e. mostly leftists.
I dont beleive the poll results, either.
I think it’s unlikely these cases will be over before the election.
That’s crazy talk…
