According to a Harvard/Harris survey, the majority of registered voters think that the indictment of former President Trump by special counsel Jack Smith was “politically driven” and election meddling.
The survey, which was done after Trump’s arrest, included a question about how people felt about the 37-count charge against him for allegedly taking secret materials to Mar-a-Lago at the conclusion of his administration.
This snapshot of papers taken during the Aug. 8 FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida is from a court record the Department of Justice filed on Aug. 30, 2022, and has been partially censored by the FBI. The former President Trump’s Florida house was found to contain secret documents, and the Justice Department claims to have discovered attempts to hinder its investigation. Justice Department via AP.
With regard to the respondents who were registered voters, 55 percent think the indictment is “politically driven” while just 45 percent think it is “valid.”
In a similar vein, just 44% of participants believe that the indictment represents “the fair application of the law,” while 56% label it “interference by the Dept. of Justice in the 2024 elections.”
In addition, 57 percent of respondents think the 45th president is going to be exonerated of the allegations, the bulk of which are in line with the 1917 Espionage Act.
Voters were also questioned about Hillary Clinton’s email controversy and the matter involving President Biden’s records, which involves the discovery of secret documents from his tenure as vice president at his home and the Penn Biden Center in DC.
Most respondents (65%) think Biden “mishandled” secret information, compared to 72% who think Clinton did, with 69% thinking Clinton “obstructed justice” due to acid-washing her emails.
“Do you believe that indicting former presidents for removing sensitive information after departing office, something performed by Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, along with other high-ranking officials, is an equal application of law or biased prosecution?” the polling organization questioned.
A majority of respondents, 53%, believe that it is a “selective prosecution,” while just 47% believe that the law is being enforced equally.
Despite the fact that the majority of registered voters believe he will be exonerated, the majority of those polled believe the DOJ holds a “strong case” against Trump to varied degrees, as opposed to 42% who believe it is “weak.”
Additionally, while a majority of 44% believe he is “probably guilty” and should be found guilty, 30% believe he is “probably innocent,” and 26% believe he could possibly be guilty however the indictment shouldn’t have been implemented “because it is politically motivated and interferes with the upcoming 2024 election.”
The survey also reveals that Trump is leading the primary race and would defeat Biden in the general election by a margin of six points.
2,090 registered voters were included in the June 14–15 Harvard/Harris survey sample. There wasn’t a margin of error mentioned.
no matter what they do to Trump, he will always have the support of the people because we know how he loves America!
It also opens my eyes to just how evil these liberals are.And the Republican party seem to be following right behind them, why else is Biden and Hunter not in jail?????
Regardless of whether Trump had documents he shouldn’t have or not, he should be treated like other presidents who had docs that were suspect. Obama, Bush and Clinton all had docs that were later asked about by NARA. It took 2 years to sort out what Obama had and he had millions of docs. Clinton had them in his sock drawer and his aide stole them out of the Archives, stuffed in his pants. Nothing happened to clinton and even Berger (the guy who stole them) paid a fine (a small one) and did community service. Nothing happened to Hillary who actually destroyed top secret info and she wasn’t a president. To invoke the Espionage Act would require the prosecution to prove some intent to do the nation some harm. There is no evidence of that in the indictment, just implied language.
Well, the Democrats will stop at nothing to ruin Pres. Trump just to keep him from winning the election. They know how much the Americans love Trump. We cannot stand Biden the bumbling idiot. Trump is most definitely for the people. Biden is trying to pick our pockets. But forgets which pocket he put it in. He is a mess. Plus Soros is paying off everyone. His money is costing the Americans our freedoms we deserve. He hates America. Who made him wealthy and now he is turning on our country.
Follow the money. Who got paid. Biden has been Onama and Soros puppet for years. Biden doesn’t even know where he is, I blame Jill for the abuse of her husband. God Bless America
If we are have issues with more diseases why hasn’t our borders been closed. The caravan people are infecting our citizens with diseases and our hospitals are not getting paid. Two hospitals in my area might have to close. No money to stay open. Staff quitting. Prayers
If they search the homes of all the crooked politicians we have in Washington, they might find documents is all of them they shouldn’t have.
The polls don’t mean anything, since they are not by a majority of people, some with a thousand or less but here is one of the “Daily Official Polls” about Biden.
67% of Americans think that Biden has accomplished nothing. 86,251 people polled.
yes = 98%
No – 2%
This probably is a little more accurate poll.
The only reason anyone would say that all the document scandels against Trump, Pence, Hillary and Biden are equal is that half the country has never read the Constitution!! The ONLY one of these 4 legally (in the United States Constitution) able to remove and declassify documents is President Trump. Period. End of conversation. All the other players, Hillary, especially Biden and Pence; none of these thiefs are protected by the law NO MATTER WHAT THEIR REASONS!!! They all are guilty according to the constitution!! Just because the DOJ wont prosecute and wants to cover up and protect DEMOCRATS from their corruption and criminal acts doesnt mean theyre guilty…it means we need to clean out the DOJ and install real prosecutors not bogus partisan hacks!!!
It is like locust republicans running for president! None of them can hold a candle to Trump, have worked with foreign leaders, and had this economy humming. It amazes me how they back-stab Trump. How about Biden’s top gopher in a short meeting in China. I guess the big guy had nothing to hear from him!
This country is run by the Biden BOZO Squad!
