While 42 percent of Americans think the indictment is the result of a genuine effort to hold the former president accountable, 43 percent believe that the move was the result of ‘political bias’ against Trump.
Political support for former president Donald Trump has seen a surge after the New York grand jury indictment over his alleged hush money payment and the impending arraignment. A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll has shown that Trump has widened his lead over his main Republican contender for presidential nomination, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, after Manhattan District Attorney pushed through with the indictment.
The poll showed that in a one-on-one contest with DeSantis, Trump would clinch the GoP nomination with a margin of 57 percent against DeSantis’ 31 percent, running up a lead of 26 percentage points.
