Cheers and jeers for former president Donald Trump as citizens weigh in after he pleaded not guilty on Thursday (August 3) to charges he orchestrated a plot to try to overturn his 2020 election loss.
About half of Republicans would not vote for Donald Trump if he were convicted of a felony, a sign of the severe risks his legal problems pose for his 2024 U.S. presidential bid, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday.
The two-day Reuters/Ipsos poll, which closed before Trump's late-afternoon court appearance, asked respondents if they would vote for Trump for president next year if he were "convicted of a felony crime by a jury."
Among Republicans, 45% said they would not vote for him, more than the 35% who said they would. The rest said they didn't know.
