Americans are split along party lines over Trump's actions in federal and Georgia election cases, AP-NORC poll shows

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that about half of Americans say Trump's alleged attempt to interfere in Georgia's 2020 vote count was illegal.

Overall, 35 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Trump and 62 percent unfavorable. Among Republicans, though, seven in 10 view the former president favorably, and about 6 in 10 say they want him to make another run for the White House.

Only about 2 in 10 U.S. adults — 17 percent — say they have “a great deal” of confidence in the people running the Justice Department. The low level of confidence spans the political spectrum, with just 26 percent of Democrats, 14 percent of independents and 7 percent of Republicans saying they have a great deal of confidence in the federal law enforcement agency. About half of Americans have “only some” confidence in DOJ, while about a third have “hardly any confidence at all.” Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to have hardly any confidence in the Justice Department, 48 percent to 18 percent.

Trump has been indicted four times since April, but Americans do not view the indictments equally. While about half believe Trump did something illegal when it comes to the Jan. 6 insurrection and the Georgia charges, along with the case involving classified documents found at his home in Florida, only about one-third say Trump acted illegally in allegedly covering up hush money payments to a woman who said he had an affair with her. That was the basis for charges Trump faces in New York City brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

“I honestly don’t feel like anybody in the political arena plays 100 percent fair,” Howell said. “I feel like it was a political indictment, but I absolutely believe it’s true. And that’s my problem with Trump.” But if Trump wins the GOP nomination and faces a rematch against Biden, she’ll reluctantly vote for him, she said.

    For decades he’s been known as a huge piece of shit.

    He’s known now as an anti-American fascist that tried to destroy our county. The 91 indictments are only the beginning.

    The idea that party lines separate people into groups that either want to hold him accountable for his crimes or that want to SUPPORT HIM and aid him in his crimes means that these “party lines” are what separates regular people from fucking scum of the earth deplorables.
