According to a YouGov America poll, more than half of Americans believe former US President Donald Trump would not receive a fair trial in the 2020 election tampering case in Georgia.

Former US President Donald Trump, alongside 18 of his allies, is facing a racketeering indictment that lists 161 "overt acts" allegedly committed as part of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election - 12 of those are tweets from Trump's own Twitter account.

According to the survey issued on Tuesday, 31% of respondents do not believe Trump will face a fair trial, while 27% are unsure.

Forty-two percent believe Trump has a good chance of getting a fair trial.

Republicans (61%) are more inclined to believe Trump will not receive a fair trial, while Democrats (70%) believe the legal system will be fair in the former President's case.

At the same time, 41% of Americans believe the probe into Trump's alleged attempts to rig the 2020 presidential election in Georgia is a genuine effort to learn the truth, whereas 31% believe it is a political attempt to disgrace Trump, while another 13% believe it is driven by both factors. 

A total of 53% of those asked believe Trump was part of an attempt to alter the 2020 election results whereas 25% disagreed and 21% were unsure.

The charges by the state of Georgia cite a tweet by Trump on December 3, 2020, that advertised an election fraud hearing convened by the state legislature and broadcast on the far-right TV network OAN.

Back in July, Trump vowed that he would continue to run for the presidential race if he gets convicted for any of the charges he faces, noting that nothing in the Constitution states that getting sentenced would stop him from campaigning. 

'Large, complex, detailed'

The legal reference of "overt acts" refers to a pattern of behavior advocating here an alleged seven-state election conspiracy by 19 defendants and 30 unindicted co-conspirators.

The charges allege that Trump's 12 tweets, as well as phone calls, texts, meetings, and other activity by either him or his allies, constituted a conspiracy to undermine the election by people who were knowingly spreading lies about the election.

Trump stated that next Monday he will demonstrate a "Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT" on voter fraud in Georgia which in turn would drop the charges against him.

"A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey," Trump said in a message on Truth Social.

However, Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp responded, "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward — under oath — and prove anything in a court of law."
