Nearly HALF of Americans agree with the DOJ’s allegations against Donald Trump — while a separate poll shows two-thirds of GOP voters say the charges “will not” change their opinion of the ex-president
- Two new polls show Americans’ thoughts after the impeachment of Donald Trump
- It shows that 48% of Americans agree with the 37 charges against him
- But another found that 76% of Republicans think it was “politically motivated.”
Most Americans agree with the charges against Donald Trump, but Republicans say the 37 charges against the former president are unlikely to change their minds in the 2024 primary.
Seventy-six percent of Republicans surveyed believe the Justice Department’s indictment against Trump was “politically motivated,” according to a CBS News/YouGov survey released on Sunday.
A separate one ABC News/Ipsos survey also published over the weekend found that 48 percent of Americans agree with the allegations — while 35 percent say they don’t.
The DOJ unsealed a 49-page indictment against Trump on Friday, revealing 37 charges against him in the investigation of classified documents.
The impeachment of Donald Trump doesn’t seem to change the polls, which have him leading against his challengers in 2024

In addition, images were revealed showing the former president keeping boxes of these documents around his Mar-a-Lago, Florida property, including in a guest bedroom and on the stage of an auditorium.
The CBS/YouGov poll found that 61 percent of GOP voters say the impeachment “will not change” their opinion of Trump, while 14 percent said it changes their opinion of him “for the better.”
Only 7 percent said they now think “worse” about the ex-president and 2024 candidate and 18 percent still don’t know where they stand, saying it “depends” on what happens in the wake of the indictment.
The results indicate that voters who would vote for Trump in the 2024 primary will continue to do so even after the indictment.
Probably because only 12 percent of Republican voters think the documents Trump had in his possession posed a “risk to national security,” according to the survey results.
Trump noted during his remarks at the GOP conventions in Georgia and North Carolina on Saturday that the indictment was good for one thing: improving his polling results.
“The only good thing about it is that it drove up my polls, can you believe it?” Trump was half joking in Columbus, Georgia.
The 49-page indictment against Trump was unsealed Friday, accusing him of mishandling classified documents after leaving office in 2021, as well as obstructing justice

Rep. Invited to the stage by Trump during his speech, Marjorie Taylor Greene added, “This is something you know, this is something I know — President Trump beats Biden in poll after poll after poll.”
“Let’s get Trump back in the White House for four more years,” she told the crowd as they broke into a “four more years” chant.
Trump said the “ridiculous and baseless charge… will go down as one of the worst abuses of power on record.”
“This vicious prosecution is a travesty of justice,” Trump insisted. “You’re looking at Joe Biden [try] to put his leading political opponent – an opponent who beats him by far in the polls – in prison, just as they do in Stalinist Russia or Communist China. No difference.’
Our country is in very bad shape. Think about it – three years from now.”
