Almost a quarter of Donald Trump supporters said he should NOT be the 2024 Republican nominee if convicted of a crime in poll before Colorado disqualification

Nearly a quarter of those who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 say that if he is convicted of a crime, he should not be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.

The poll, released Wednesday, was conducted before the Colorado Supreme Court's Tuesday decision disqualifying Trump from participating in the state's primary.

Trump faces 91 felony charges in Washington DC, New York, Georgia and Florida.

He has not yet been convicted of the crimes he is accused of, but at least 22 percent of those surveyed in the New York Times/Siena College Survey saying it could determine whether they think he should still be nominated in 2024.

Twenty-eight percent of Republicans surveyed say Trump should not appear on the ballot if convicted, while 62 percent of Democrats and 41 percent of independents think the same.

Additionally, a surprising 20 percent of self-identified Trump supporters say Trump should be sent to prison if convicted in the federal case in Washington.

Another 23 percent say they believe he committed “serious federal crimes,” compared to 11 percent who said so in a July poll.

A poll from December 10 to 14 shows that 22% of people who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 do not think he should be the Republican nominee in 2024 if he is convicted of a crime.

The same Wednesday poll, conducted Dec. 10 to 14, shows Trump beating President Joe Biden by a vote of 46 percent to 44 percent if a hypothetical reelection matchup were to take place today.

However, all of this may be affected by the fact that the Colorado Supreme Court has now ruled that Trump cannot appear on the state's primary ballot, claiming he violated the 14th Amendment.

Clause 3 states that a person cannot hold public office if he participates in an insurrection, which the Colorado court found Trump did for his role in enticing supporters to riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

However, critics of the ruling argue that the clause does not specifically state that a person cannot run for president, although almost every other position in public office is mentioned.

Some speculate that courts in other states will also use this precedent as an argument in deciding to remove Trump from their ballots.

Since the ruling was only handed down on Tuesday, there have been no polls yet to indicate how this will affect the former president, but most pollsters and strategists suggest he will only see an increase in poll numbers as a result of constant goal orientation.

The poll was released the day after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Trump was barred from running in the state's presidential election.

“Every time Trump has spoken negatively about the justice system, it has been like rocket fuel for Republican voters because it reinforces his core message that he is (and has been) unfairly treated since he came up with the election.” . scene,” Republican strategist Scott Jennings said in a statement to DailyMail.com.

“Republicans see this the same way they saw the two impeachments, the indictments, the Russia investigation and all the rest – just another attempt by elites and Democrats to prevent Trump and his voters from getting a fair shake in the election.” ,” he added, echoing Luntz's views on the latest ruling.

“For Trump haters, this is like getting drunk at the office Christmas party,” Jennings said. “It may seem fun tonight, but tomorrow you will really regret it.”

Noted pollster and political consultant Frank Luntz said in an interview Tuesday that the Colorado ruling will have “the same impact as his 91 indictments,” boosting Trump's poll numbers.

“The chance that Trump will beat Biden is now even greater,” he predicted in the interview.
