Most Voters Believe Trump Committed ‘Serious Crimes’: Poll

29 comments

1. ***From Rolling Stone:***

   On the eve of jury selection in Donald Trump‘s hush money trial in New York, it appears the former president has already been convicted of crimes in the court of public opinion. A new poll shows that the majority of voters believe he has committed “serious federal crimes” — plural.

2. Just bananas that the 2024 Republican candidate for the presidency starts his first criminal trial tomorrow. Something’s gotta give.

3. Fortunately for him, you don’t need most voters to win an election.

4. “Slightly less than half of likely voters (46 percent) said that Trump should be found guilty in the hush money case.”

   Again with “hush money” not election interference 🙄 We already gave Trump a free pass for Russia and now it’s as though we’re determined to whitewash the other way he cheated in 2016 as well by reducing it to being a shiny object narrative about fucking a porn and paying her off so his wife wouldn’t find out.

   And the fact that it’s only 46% when this is a documents-based case where an accomplice was already sent to prison speaks to the hopeless arrogant entitled knownothingism of most Americans and the root of why we can’t have nice things.

5. Believe? You simply can not have the number of lawsuits he has, win or lose, and not be against the law.

6. It’s hard to get charged with 91 felonies without committing “serious crimes”.

7. But when push comes to shove *of the voting lever* they will select *him* because he hates who *they* hate.

8. He stole national security secrets.

9. The below data point along with prior polling further supports the proposition that an actual conviction would have a serious impact on swing voters:

   > Slightly less than half of likely voters (46 percent) said that Trump should be found guilty in the hush money case, while 36 percent said he should not be convicted. Another 18 percent said they didn’t know or did not want to answer.

10. Those same voters must also be pissed that our entire justice system has failed to hold him accountable for those serious crimes then, right? Which means the number one issue of the election is reforming the criminal justice system to account for its failures, right? Uh…guys?

11. So please most voters vote accordingly and don’t reward the party that puts forward such a man as this.

12. “Hardened Criminal” is what people are saying.

13. They probably only believe that because he committed serious crimes.

14. I referred to Trump as a criminal in conversation, and of course someone piped in, “what crime?!” If you’re asking that, you’re either dumber than a rock or willfully ignorant. Either way, take a long walk off a short pier because you’re a waste of space.

15. The discrepancy in opinion vs election polling really makes it seem like the sampling changes the pollsters made after 2016, combined with the accelerated demographic changes from the pandemic, are causing a systemic sampling issue.

    Or maybe I’m just naive to believe that there’s no way a majority of the population can both believe Trump committed serious crimes AND prefer him for President.

16. And unless those voters live in the right states, in the right amounts, it won’t matter! Gotta love land having more say than the majority of the population!

17. The world watches with absolute wonder and astonishment that the 2024 election is even close. Biden should be blowing Trump out 65 to 35 in the polls. What is wrong with America?

18. Anyone paying attention knows he has been at least unethical and at most criminal since he was excreted onto the scene in the late 1960s. He has always been consistently a bad actor in everything he has done.

19. Except r/conservative.

20. That’s because he did, in fact, commit serious crimes.

21. The fact that he’ll never be held accountable for the most serious crime of all, lying to the American people, resulting in over a million deaths, is a stain on our country and the judicial system as a whole.

22. But will they vote, though?

23. That’s because he did in broad daylight and on television and on social media where he continues to break laws.

24. If only it was up to most voters…

25. He’s one of the most incompetent offenders ever. Not a single one of his schemes and scams have paid off nor have they not resulted in charges of some kind. He always gets caught.

26. Yeah well considering he doesn’t deny any of it or let alone doing some of them on live national TV then they should think he committed serious crimes.

27. I understand that you are innocent until proven guilty in the United States. However, you don’t get charged with 90 felonies on 4 indictments, if you haven’t committed crimes.

28. But Millions are going to vote for him anyway.

29. He did and so did his crime family!
