A YouGov poll exhibits that more than a whopping 50% of Republican voters are fully prepared to support former US President Donald Trump's return to the presidential arena during the next elections scheduled for 2024. 

What's shocking is that more than half of these voters are willing to support him despite that he has fraud and legal cases racking up against him and amid his most recent indictment. 

Trump issued a statement last week referring to the indictment as a “witch-hunt,” and adding that the move was an attempt by Democrats to meddle in the 2024 election.

According to the poll results, 52% of Republican supporters are ready to vote for Trump, followed by support for running candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 21%.

Former governor of South Carolina and candidate Nikki Haley got a mere support rate of 5%.

A politically biased indictment 

In a separate yet related YouGov poll last week, participants were asked for their opinion regarding the recent US jury's decision to indict Trump and bring over 30 charges against him.

43% believe that the decision to indict is politically motivated, while 42% consider it reasonably valid to hold Trump accountable for his actions.

The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is currently investigating Trump for a $130,000 hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. According to the New York Times, the investigative invitation of Trump by Bragg could mean the first-ever indictment of a former US President with a criminal charge.

Trump announced on Friday that he will appeal a grand jury indictment against him in Manhattan, claiming that the officials involved in the case are biased. The Trump indictment is becoming a symbol of a rift between the Democrats and Republicans in the US, especially in public opinion. 

According to Axios on Sunday, Trump has the support of 37 House Republicans, including nine of the 25 Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee and 11 of the 26 Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, which could significantly boost Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.
