A substantial majority of voters support the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump over his mishandling of classified documents, and a solid majority say his actions render him unfit to be president again. But new polling from Navigator Research also suggests Democrats have an opportunity to boost support for charging Trump by detailing his actions surrounding the indictment against him.
By a 14-point margin, registered voters already support Trump being charged, 53%-39%. But support for indicting Trump rises 6 points when voters are told Trump faces 37 federal counts in the documents probe and is “facing charges under the Espionage Act, as well as charges of obstruction of justice, destruction or falsification of records, conspiracy, and making false statements to investigators.”
After hearing that, voters favor indicting Trump 56%-36%, including 88% of Democrats, 50% of independents, and 22% of Republicans.
