Poll Shows Trump Support Rising After FBI Raid
Donald Trump has seen better weeks, that’s for certain, but it doesn’t appear as though the MAGA Movement is all that worried about it.
The former President has had a number of difficult days recently, with his Mar-a-Lago estate being raided by the FBI and being forced to testify in an investigation regarding his organization in New York.
For a normal politician, these sorts of things could be disqualifying…but not for Teflon Don. In fact, the adversity may even make people like him more.
Far-left Politico reports that a record high of 58 percent of Republican voters now say they would vote for Trump in a 2024 presidential primary.
Additionally, a record high 71 percent now say they want Trump to run again in 2024.
Trump’s previous high for the question about voting for him in a 2024 primary was 56 percent, in March of 2022. The last time this poll was taken, last month, Trump earned 54 percent support.
Support for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has dropped five points since July, from 21 percent to just 16 percent.
The poll also examined the now-infamous raid on Mar-a-Lago.
When it comes to all voters, only 49 percent believe the warrant was issued because evidence existed of a crime. That’s a pretty pathetic number, a huge lack of trust in a major institution for a move as serious as raiding a former president’s private residence.
Additionally, 39 percent believe (correctly) that the raid was committed out of a partisan political motivation, while 13 percent had no opinion.
Trump’s uncanny ability to remain slippery in scandalous situations remains intact, it seems, and this is terrible news for the Democrats come 2024.
