Majority of GOP Wants Trump in Race Even After Indictment: Poll
Republicans continue to stand behind former President Donald Trump despite his recent indictment by a Florida grand jury, according to a poll released on Friday.
Although the majority of voters overall (56%) believe Trump should drop out of the 2024 presidential race because of the indictment, 64% of Republican and Republican-leaning respondents said they would continue to support Trump if he remains in the race, according to a national poll conducted by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.
“As former President Trump deals with his latest legal woes, Republicans are mostly standing with him, while Democrats are calling for him to exit the 2024 campaign,” Marist Director Lee Miringoff said in a statement.
“Time will tell if this pattern holds, but for now, Republicans are grounded on where they stand on Trump regardless of these unfolding events,” he added.
More than three-quarters of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, 76%, have a favorable opinion of Trump, up from 68% in February, the poll said. (Read more from “Majority of GOP Wants Trump in Race Even After Indictment: Poll” HERE)
