© Reuters. Trumped-up Charges? Poll Reveals What Most Americans Think Of Charges Against Embattled Ex-president
Benzinga – by Bibhu Pattnaik, Benzinga Staff Writer.
A new survey released by YouGov unveiled a prevailing sense of distrust among Republican voters regarding the impartiality of the legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump.
The poll highlighted a clear difference in the views of Republicans and Democrats. According to the survey, many Republicans are skeptical about whether the cases against Trump are being handled fairly. On the other hand, Democrats generally trust that these legal actions are being conducted fairly.
Seventy-three percent of Republicans polled believe the federal case concerning election subversion, which is tied to Trump’s alleged actions during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, has been handled unjustly. Similarly, this is skepticism over the Georgia election case, with 71 percent of Republicans questioning its fairness.

Republicans have somewhat less reservations about the hush-money and classified documents cases, but still have lingering doubts.
In contrast, a significant portion of the general U.S. population, at least 40 percent, believes that these cases are being handled fairly.
While the survey reflects a divided opinion, it also highlights that most Americans recognize the gravity of these cases, albeit with varying levels of concern.
The poll, involving 1,000 U.S. adult citizens, carries a four percentage point margin of error. Amidst these legal entanglements, Trump has continued his campaign for a return to the presidency, navigating through a complex landscape of legal and political challenges.
The YouGov poll was conducted online from Jan 25 to Jan. 29.
