The poll shows that the country is split on the former president's alleged attempt to interfere in Georgia's 2020 election vote count.
Former President Donald Trump, 2024 Republican presidential candidate, speaks at the Steer N' Stein bar while attending the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa, US, on Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023. Americans are deeply divided along party lines in their views of President Donald Trump's actions in the most recent criminal cases brought against him, a new poll shows, with about half saying his alleged attempt to interfere in Georgia's 2020 vote count was illegal.
Overall, 35% of Americans have a favorable view of Trump and 62% unfavorable. Among Republicans, though, seven in 10 view the former president favorably, and about 6 in 10 say they want him to make another run for the White House. "Trump is obviously running for president and the sitting administration is pushing to have their political rival arrested and put in jail," said Cary Arnold, a 56-year-old Republican from Eldersburg, Maryland. "Just on the surface that’s a very, very bad look. That’s something that you would expect to see in third world countries that are run by dictators.""I have not seen anything that seemed to be illegal," Arnold said.
Americans largely disagree with Trump’s contention that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Seven in 10 say that Biden was legitimately elected president, a number that’s been consistent in the last year. But among Republicans, 57% say Biden’s election was illegitimate, compared with 32% of independents and 2% of Democrats.
