GOP support for Trump waning after his second indictment: pollBy Victor Nava
June 20, 2023
Republican support for former President Donald Trump has dipped since he was charged with 37 felony counts related to his alleged mishandling and concealment of classified White House documents, according to a new poll.
The new CNN poll, released on Tuesday and conducted entirely after the 77-year-old former president’s arraignment in a Miami, Fla., federal court, shows that both support for his 2024 presidential candidacy and positive views of him among Republican and Republican-leaning voters have declined compared to last month.
The survey found that 47% of Republicans and Republican-leaning registered voters say Trump is their first choice for the GOP’s standard bearer in 2024, down from 53% in May.
In comparison, support for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis remained unchanged since last month, with 26% supporting the governor of the Sunshine State.
