Poll: Majority of MAGA Voters Want Trump to Seek ‘Revenge’ if Re-Elected (VIDEO)
A recent CBS News/YouGov survey reveals that a significant majority of Make America Great Again (MAGA) voters believe former President Donald Trump should seek revenge in a potential second term by criminally charging his political opponents. The survey, conducted among likely Republican primary voters, also highlighted Trump’s strong lead in the GOP primary, surpassing his opponents by 55 points with 69 percent support.
According to the survey conducted from January 10-12, 2024, 55 percent of MAGA voters expressed support for Trump seeking revenge through criminal charges against political opponents in a second term. Meanwhile, three in ten non-MAGA voters also agreed with the idea. However, 45 percent of MAGA voters indicated that Trump should not pursue retribution in that manner, and a majority of non-MAGA voters (70 percent) shared this perspective.
Trump’s potential pursuit of retribution became a topic of discussion during a Fox News town hall held in Iowa, where the former president addressed the issue. Trump acknowledged that some might view seeking revenge as justified in light of what he described as various hoaxes, including the Russia investigation and intelligence agent hoaxes. Despite the survey’s findings, Trump emphasized that his focus would be on making the country successful and stated, “I’m not gonna have time for retribution. Our ultimate retribution is success.”
The town hall event featuring Trump garnered significant attention, with nearly double the viewership of CNN’s Republican primary debate, serving as counter-programming to the debate between Trump’s rivals, Nikki Haley and Gov. Ron DeSantis.
