The evidence to the contrary continues to pile up. Consider the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, which was released yesterday.
The same survey data showed that a 47% plurality believes the former president did something illegal or unethical and should be charged with a crime.
Not surprisingly, the partisan gap is enormous — Democrats and Republicans, predictably, are looking at this controversy in very different ways — though one-in-four GOP voters agreed that Trump’s conduct was either illegal (5%) or unethical (15%).
Whether that should be seen as a lot or a little is a matter of perspective.
Regardless, this data can be added to other recent survey results to paint a fuller picture of public attitudes on the Mar-a-Lago scandal. The latest NBC News poll, for example, which was released two weeks ago, found 57% of the public agreeing that investigation into Trump’s alleged wrongdoing should continue.
When it comes to the FBI search, a plurality (44%) of respondents said they think Trump did something illegal. Another 17% think he did something unethical, but not illegal. Nearly 30% maintain he did nothing wrong, including 63% of Republicans.
