Most think indictment should disqualify Trump – but big partisan divide
Earlier this week, a public poll recorded that a majority of Americans believe that criminal charges against Donald Trump should disqualify him from a 2024 presidential run.
The Quinnipiac University poll – released a day before Thursday’s indictment – found 57% of those surveyed think criminal charges should preclude Trump from running for office again.
However there was large partisan divide, with 88% of Democrats saying they believe charges should disqualify the former President, compared to 23% of Republicans, BBC reports.
With regards to the New York district attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation, 62% of respondents said they believed the charges were politically motivated, although 55% also said the allegations were “very serious”.
