Scandal-plagued former president and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is undeniably convinced that he has the upcoming presidential election in the bag and, if he should lose, he’s already crying fraud — in large part, apparently, because of all the Trump yard signs he’s seen hanging around his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Frankly, he’s fully and completely convinced that everyone loves, admires, and respects him and there’s simply no way he won’t return to the White House until Joe Biden “cheats,” “again.”
But when it comes to the American people that Donald actually needs to vote for him, there is a much, much different tune hanging in the air.
While the polls concerning the impending presidential election are still a bit back and forth between current POTUS Joe Biden and his opponent and predecessor Donald Trump, the American people have spoken out on something that shapes up to be far worse news for the ex-president — majority of Americans wants to see him criminally charges.
ABC News/Ipsos poll released a damning new poll recently, showing that 56 percent of Americans want to see criminal charges brought against Donald J. Trump.

The ex-president is infamous under indictment in four separate jurisdictions, facing a staggering 91 counts, in total — ranging from New York’s fraud trial that accuses him of falsifying business records to the Georgia election interference case to the D.C. federal case for attempting to overthrow the 2020 election, to the Florida federal case over the infamous stolen, classified government documents. The former president has unsurprisingly pleaded not guilty to all 91 charges against him.
Despite the ever-growing mountain of legal woes on Trump’s shoulders, Trump is holding steady as the clear frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination and will almost undoubtedly go toe-to-toe with Joe Biden in November.
That is if the charges don’t get him first like most Americans apparently want.
The ABC News/Ipsos poll did not ask about specific charges against the former president, but rather posed the broad question:
Trump has been indicted on federal and state charges that he conspired to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and that he illegally retained classified documents after leaving office. Do you support or oppose these criminal charges having been brought against Trump?”
Fifty-six percent of those polled said they support the criminal charges against Donald Trump, while 41 percent said they “strongly” support them. Thirty-nine percent were opposed to charges with only a sad 24 percent “strongly” opposing.
The survey polled 2,228 adults in English and Spanish from January 4th to January 8th with a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.
