Half Of Americans In New Poll Say They Believe The Federal Indictment Of Former President Trump Is Politically Motivated

The Hill: Nearly half in new poll say Trump indictment is politically motivated  

Almost half of Americans in a new poll said that they believe the federal indictment of former President Trump is politically motivated after he was charged with 37 counts in relation to the alleged mishandling of records at his Mar-a-Lago estate. 

Forty-seven percent of respondents in the ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday say the charges against Trump are politically motivated, while 37 percent say they are not. Sixteen percent say they are not sure. 

Most Republicans — 80 percent — say the charges announced last week are politically motivated, with only 16 percent of Democrats aligning with that view. 

By comparison, 71 percent of Democrats say the charges are not rooted in politics. Only nine percent of Republicans say the same.
