However, this\u2062 belief has not hindered his bid to become the Republican nominee, as less than\u2062 one-third of Republicans \u200dagree with this sentiment.<\/p>\n<h3>Strong Belief in Trump&#8217;s Criminal Activity<\/h3>\n<p>According \u2063to a \u200dreport by \u2064Navigator Research, more than three in five \u200bvoters,\u200d including 67% of independents, believe that Trump has committed a crime \u2062in one of his four indictments. Among\u200c Democrats, a staggering 92% share this belief. However, only\u2062 28% \u200cof Republicans believe \u2064the \u2062same.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Because of the low number of conservative\u2063 voters \u2062who\u2062 believe the former president committed a crime, Trump remains the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/launch-time-is-anyone-in-the-2024-gop-field-besides-trump-ready-for-prime-time\/\" title=\"2024 GOP field: Is anyone, other than Trump, prepared for prime time?\">strong front-runner<\/a> for the GOP\u200d nomination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Due to the\u2064 relatively\u2062 low number of conservative \u200bvoters who believe that \u2063Trump has committed a crime, he\u200c continues to be the leading contender for the GOP\u200d nomination.\u2063 Trump currently holds a commanding lead\u200c over his strongest\u2062 challenger, Gov. \u200dRon DeSantis (R-FL), with\u2064 55.1% of\u200d Republican voters supporting\u200d him \u200dcompared to DeSantis&#8217; \u200c14.5%, according to \u200cthe RealClearPolitics average.

Navigator research indicates\u200c that 60% of voters believe\u2064 the investigations are legitimate. While the level of \u2063trust is similar across each case, the New York case involving alleged \u200dhush money payments to \u2063porn star Stormy Daniels has the lowest \u200dlevel of\u2062 trustworthiness, with \u206364%\u200d of respondents believing it to be a\u200b serious case.<\/p>\n<h3>Divided\u200c Opinions on Conviction<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the \u200cbelief that Trump will be convicted of the alleged crimes, the results are nearly evenly split. 42% of respondents believe he will be convicted, while 41% believe he will not.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has consistently maintained his\u200d innocence in all the cases and has likened the investigations to a political &#8220;witch hunt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The \u2064survey was conducted between Aug. 17-21, \u2062just days before Trump turned himself \u2063into authorities in Fulton County, Georgia, and became the \u200bfirst former president\u200c in history to have his mug shot taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent polling shows that most Americans think Donald Trump has committed a crime.
