A majority of independent Utah voters say they are less likely to vote for former Pres. Trump because of recent criminal charges. Republicans say it makes no difference or makes them more likely to support him.
This reaction may help explain why 60% of Utah voters polled said they believe the charges brought against Trump were politically motivated, including 78% of Republicans and 49% of independent voters. But only 16% of Democrats believe politics played a part.
Partisan identification also played a role in how people saw Trump's actions related to the charges. Overall, 44% of voters believe Trump intentionally acted illegally, 28% said he did nothing wrong and 18% said his actions were unintentional, but voters had very different takes depending on where they land on the political spectrum.
Among Republicans, 38% say Trump did nothing wrong, while 28% say he intentionally acted illegally and 24% say it was unintentional. Democrats were almost unanimous — 91% say they think Trump acted illegally on purpose, while only 6% say it was unintentional and 1% say he did nothing wrong. A slight majority of independent voters, 51%, say his actions were intentional, while 15% say it was unintentional and 22% say he did nothing wrong., Trump said he thinks voters will continue to support him despite the criminal investigations into his behavior, including over his handling of classified documents and his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
During the broadcast, Trump defended a phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, where he asked him to "find 11,780 votes."When asked whether a Manhattan jury's recent decision to find him liable for sexual assault and defamation will make voters less likely to support him, Trump said, "No, I don't think so."
