A majority of likely voters say Donald Trump’s prosecution by George Soros-backed Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg either makes no difference to their voting intentions or makes them more likely to vote for the former president, according to new polling by Rasmussen Reports.
The pollster sampled over a thousand likely voters in late April, asking, “In terms of this year’s presidential election, has the New York trial made you more likely or less likely to vote for Trump? Or has the trial not made much difference in how you will vote in the presidential election?”
Thirty-two percent said the trial, which Trump has called a politically motivated witch hunt, makes them more likely to vote for the former president. Forty percent say it makes little difference to them. Just 26 percent say it makes them less likely to vote for him.
Among Republican voters and voters who identify as conservative, the prosecution appears to be having an energizing effect, with 51 percent and 53 percent saying it makes them more likely to vote for Trump, respectively.
