Instead, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/with-trump-gone-the-media-no-longer-cares-about-kids-in-cages\/\" title=\"With Trump Gone, The Media No Longer Cares About \u2018Kids In Cages\u2019\">suggest alternatives<\/a> such as probation, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-justice-dept-asks-supreme-court-to-save-obamacare\/\" title=\"Biden Justice Dept.

Interestingly, the majority of voters also believe that the former president should be tried prior to both the Republican primary races and the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n<h3>Timing of the Trial<\/h3>\n<p>The poll also showed that <strong>62% of all respondents<\/strong> believe the case should be tried ahead of the presidential election in 2024. Furthermore, <strong>57% of respondents<\/strong> believe it should go to trial before the Republican primaries in early 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>Partisan Perspectives<\/h3>\n<p>According to the data, more Democrats want the case heard before the presidential election than Republicans. <strong>86% of Democrats<\/strong> believe it should be tried before the election, while <strong>46% of Republicans<\/strong> agree. Among independents, nearly half also agree that the case should be tried before the presidential race, as well as the Republican primary elections.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are more split when it comes to trying the case ahead of the primaries, with <strong>42% in favor<\/strong> and <strong>40% disagreeing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Guilt or Innocence<\/h3>\n<p>While members of both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-arrested-most-voters-say-former-president-should-not-be-imprisoned-if-convicted\/\" title=\"Most voters oppose imprisoning former President Trump if convicted.\">parties feel similarly<\/a> about the case&#8217;s timing, they diverge when it comes to the guilt or innocence of Trump. More than half of Republicans say the former president is innocent, with only a quarter claiming he&#8217;s guilty. Among Democrats, <strong>81% say Trump is guilty<\/strong>, and just 11% disagree. Among independents, a plurality say they aren&#8217;t sure about Trump&#8217;s guilt, while 36% believe he is guilty and 21% contend that he&#8217;s innocent.<\/p>\n<p>The survey took place between June 27 and 28, just a few weeks after the indictment. It interviewed 1,005 adults, and the credibility interval is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for each respondent.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has maintained his innocence and further stated that he will continue his campaign for president even if the court finds him guilty in the matter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Politico\/Ipsos poll shows that 57% of voters believe former President Donald Trump should not be imprisoned if convicted in the federal classified documents case.
