Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, was indicted for illegally stealing classified documents, and about half of the American public thought the prosecution was natural, a survey found.<\/p>\n
At the same time, a similar size of the American public responded that the indictment was ‘political’, confirming again that the public opinion of the American public is divided according to political inclinations over the prosecution of former President Trump.<\/p>\n
According to a public opinion poll released on the 11th by ABC Broadcasting of the United States with the polling company Ipsos on 910 American citizens on the 9th and 10th, 61% of the total respondents said that former President Trump’s alleged transfer of classified documents was a ‘serious matter’.<\/p>\n
By party support, 91% of Democratic supporters and 38% of Republicans viewed former President Trump’s allegations as serious, respectively.<\/p>\n
48% said yes, 35% said no in answer to whether Trump should be prosecuted for transporting classified documents.<\/p>\n
Another 46% of the total said former President Trump should stop his campaign.<\/p>\n
Separately, 47% of all respondents said the prosecution was politically motivated. These responses were primarily driven by Republican supporters, Ipsos said.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Democratic supporters replied that former President Trump should be prosecuted, and the campaign should be suspended, the company said. This stark difference between Republican and Democratic supporters over the prosecution of former President Trump is consistent with the results of a public opinion poll conducted in April, when former President Trump was indicted for allegedly silenced sexual intercourse.<\/p>\n
In a poll released by ABC and Ipsos on April 2, 88% of Democrats said, “should be prosecuted” for sexual intercourse silence, while 65% of Republicans said, “should not be prosecuted”.<\/p>\n
In addition, 47% of all respondents at the time said the incident was politically motivated.<\/p>\n
Republican supporters said that the case was a political investigation, regardless of whether they were in favour or against the prosecution of former President Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
