Trump campaign bashes poll showing majority want him to stand trial before electionBy Josh Christenson

Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign shot back Friday at a national poll that it said showed “not-so-surprising bias” about Americans’ support for trying the former president before the election on charges he mishandled national security documents.
The Politico Magazine/Ipsos poll found more than half of US adults (57%) want the 77-year-old to go before a court prior to the Republican primaries — and an even larger share (62%) said the case should move forward before the general election.
In an unusual move, the Trump campaign released an internal memo from pollster John McLaughlin saying the survey was affected by “bias and spin.”
The Politico/Ipsos survey weighted Democratic responses more heavily than Republicans when compared with the 2020 electorate, causing a “6-to-7-point bias” against the 45th president, the veteran pollster’s memo states.
