Post indictment polling: 2024 Republican primary (full field, 03/30-04/02)
The indictment of former President Trump, at a time when he's surging in primary polls, is unifying the GOP behind him and will make it more difficult for his GOP opposition to get traction.
The first poll conducted post-indictment, by Yahoo News/YouGov, shows Trump's support skyrocketing among Republicans. Trump now holds a 26-point lead over Florida Gov. DeSantis (57%-31%) in the GOP primary — up from just eight points two weeks ago.
79% of Republicans see the charges as politically motivated — illustrating the fusing of Trump's base with the Republican Party.
