Majority Thinks Trump “Did Something Wrong,” But Majority Also Thinks Prosecution Is Politically Motivated


A new Fox News poll indicates that 53 percent of registered voters believe Trump “did something illegal” in connection with his efforts to reverse the 2020 election results.

The survey also found that 20 percent of registered voters believe Trump “did something wrong,” although not necessarily illegal. Meanwhile, 24 percent of respondents expressed the belief that the former president “did nothing seriously wrong” in this context.

In a notable shift from a previous poll conducted in June, the survey also indicates changing perceptions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the former president’s case. The percentage of voters who believe the Department of Justice’s “treatment” of Trump is “politically motivated” has decreased from 55 percent in June to 51 percent this month. Simultaneously, there has been a rise in the number of respondents who do not consider the department’s actions against Trump to be “politically motivated.”

A separate poll from Quinnipiac found that 54 percent of Americans say Trump deserves to be prosecuted, while 42 percent say he should not be.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans (64 percent) think the federal criminal charges accusing former President Trump of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election are either very serious (52 percent) or somewhat serious (12 percent), while roughly one-third (32 percent) think they are either not too serious (11 percent) or not serious at all (21 percent).

Donald Trump, who is the clear front-runner in the 2024 GOP presidential nomination race, has faced a series of legal challenges stemming from his actions surrounding the 2020 election, including a federal indictment and another in Georgia. The poll results coincide with his fourth indictment, announced earlier this week by Fulton County DA Fani Willis.

Separately, Trump faces charges over his retention of classified documents after his presidency ended, as well criminal charges in New York for covering up hush money payments during the 2016 election.

  1. The Democratic Party does NOT offer policies that benefit the USA, because they have been hijacked by Marxists and Socialists whose goal is to completely destroy the USA, and its allies, especially Israel.

    Since The Democratic Party does NOT offer policies that benefit the USA, the only way they can hold onto power by any means possible (which is the ONLY thing they truly care about) is to bribe the voters with “Free Stuff” that is not truly free, because the taxpayers eventually pay for it, one way or another.

    Like Stalin from the former Soviet Union (USSR), and like Chairman Mao from Communist China, and like the current government of North Korea, the Democratic Party uses government agencies to persecute and destroy their political opponents, including: the IRS, the FBI, and the Department of Justice, and any other government agencies that they can use as weapons.

    Last but not least, the Democratic Party wants to transform the USA into a totalitarian dictatorship where the people have no rights, unless they prove their loyalty to the Democratic Party.

  2. Aside from the Docs that he, Biden and practically every president held on to…. Can someone actually specify a law broken that cannot be subjective to intent/frame of mind?

  3. The stupidity of these polls is that they are asking people who get their information from a biased media, who don’t know all the facts or have seen evidence one way or the other other than what it reported. So best to ignore the polls and hope that Americans who sorrowfully are more stupid than anyone can imagine will wake up and use their brains before answering a poll like this

  4. Think Hillary who challenged trumps election snd had him chased over nothing Or Florida and the hanging chap voter protest in court demanding g the election be over turned
