Trump’s Support Among Republicans Slips a Little

PBS Newshour/NPR/Marist: “Trump’s legal difficulties may be weighing him down among some voters within his own party. In mid-June, 32% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said if Trump continues to run for president, they are likely to support another candidate. By late July, that interest in backing a different GOP nominee rose to 37%.”

“Yet a majority of Republican primary voters have dismissed the criminal and civil allegations, investigations, indictments and trials involving Trump as being politically motivated, regardless of the evidence gathered against him… And a majority of Republicans – 58% – say they still plan to vote for Trump, according to this latest poll.”
