‘Not as Dominant’: Post-Indictment Polling Suggests Trump’s Hold over the GOP May Be Loosening

If the reaction to Donald Trump’s first indictment suggested that his legal woes might only strengthen his support among primary voters, the reaction to his second indictment, with its “damning” charges, suggests that his political standing may in fact not be immune to those woes.

I discussed the former president’s strength in the polls with Ipsos senior vice president Chris Jackson, who said the “obvious long-term trend is that Trump continues to dominate the Republican Party,” but noted that the GOP primary electorate seems more shaken by the most recent indictment than past legal developments.
