Marist poll By 56% to 41%, respondents said Trump investigations are fair and not a "witch hunt.

The survey of more than 1,300 adults also found that despite the love for him among Republicans, Trump remains highly disliked, continues to struggle mightily with independents – and 6 in 10 Americans don't want him to be president again.


But most Americans don't agree with him. By a 56%-to-41% margin respondents said the investigations are fair and not a "witch hunt."

I do think some countries have better informed and more engaged citizens, but at best it’s probably just a single digit difference by percentage of the population.

The political and social similarities of Europe, especially in the UK, can be quite surprising.

Alex Jones, Fux nooze, OAN ect.

There is no such thing as left-wing media. There is truthful journalism and then there is the bullshit in right-wing media.

He already had a thin margin for error, losing a few points would make him have no shot in 2024, he's lost more than a few points.

We heard that in 2016. How'd that turn out? All he needs to do is focus on electoral votes. He doesn't need a majority. He just needs votes in the right places.

which supports my theory that one third of American citizens just aint' very bright. Can't fault 'em if they were born that way, but some of those people are also being willfully ignorant and that is on them!

They place bigotry and racism above any other values - otherwise they wouldn't be so easily controlled.

Since 2 or 3 of his supporters will probably get on a jury. Enough to hang any jury.

But only 57% believe the investigations are fair. That suggests about 1/4 of respondents believe because he was famous they should let him do it
