While former U.S. President Donald Trump was indicted on suspicion of ‘silencing sexual scandal’, it was confirmed that the percentage of former President Trump’s charges were serious and should be prosecuted.

Opinion released on the 9th after ABC and Ipsos surveyed 566 adults on the 6th and 7th (local time) right after the indictment procedure (the 4th) in Manhattan Criminal Court (after the disclosure of all charges against former President Trump) In the survey, 50% of all respondents said former President Trump should be prosecuted.

This is a 5 percentage point (p) increase compared to the poll (45%) conducted from the 31st of last month to the 1st of this month, immediately after the 30th of last month (before the disclosure of charges) when the New York court grand jury decided to indict former President Trump.

“I should not have prosecuted” was only 33%, an increase of 1 percentage point from the previous survey (32%), showing no significant difference, but the percentage of “I don’t know” fell by 6 percentage points from 23% to 17%. The percentage of non-partisan people who said that former President Trump should be prosecuted rose from 40% to 54%, a whopping 14 percentage point increase.

Although the difference in responses depending on the political party supported was not large, it is pointed out that there may have been a change in public sentiment due to a noticeable change in the non-partisan class, which can affect the direction of the presidential election in the future.

Similar changes were observed in responses to the seriousness of the charges against former President Trump. Compared to the previous survey, 52% answered ‘serious’, a 2%p increase, but the number of ‘don’t know’ decreased drastically from 14% to 8%.

Then, the number of shamans who believed former President Trump’s charges were serious increased significantly to 54% compared to the previous survey (43%).

ABC Broadcasting said in the survey that the number of Americans who said former President Trump should stop running for office also increased from 43% to 48%. Among shamans, ‘I have to quit’ was 52%, a significant increase compared to the previous survey (41%).

The response of Americans who answered ‘I don’t know’ to the same question was 16%, down 6 percentage points from 22% in the previous survey.

To the question, “Do you think former President Trump intentionally acted illegally,” which was not in the previous survey, 53% of Americans answered “yes.”

It was estimated that the liking for former President Trump recorded 25%, down 10 percentage points from just before the last presidential election.
