Trump Towers: Despite Multiple Indictments, Support for Donald Trump is on the Rise

In the wake of multiple criminal indictments and 91 charges, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is only seeing his support grow; polls continue to show Trump’s support skyrocket.

From Newsmax:

The RealClearPolitics national polling average has Trump leading his nearest GOP primary competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, by 40 percentage points, 53.6% to 13.5% as of Thursday, and coming within one percentage point of President Joe Biden, 44.6% to 43.8%, even as reports of his upcoming trials dominate the news cycle.

The polls were much closer before the historic first indictment in New York in April, with Trump leading DeSantis by 17 percentage points on March 31.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and a grand jury handed down a 34-count criminal indictment against the former president on April 4, charging Trump with felonies for falsifying business records relating to a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep an alleged affair between the two years earlier quiet, NPR reported at the time.

The poll showed Trump’s support rose to 26 percentage points over DeSantis the next day, according to the survey.

Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith handed down a second indictment against Trump two months later, on June 8, for allegedly mishandling classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in January 2021.

By June 10, Trump’s lead in the polling over DeSantis had increased to 32 percentage points.
