Voters split about Trump conviction, with half believing charges were politically motivated: Poll

Voters are divided as to the merits of the conviction of former President Donald Trump, with half believing them correct, and just about as many believing they were politically motivated.

A new ABC News/Ipsos poll found the percentage of people who believe Trump should drop out due to his legal issues is nearly unchanged from April of last year, after he received his first indictment. In the latest poll, 49% believe he should drop out due to his conviction, compared to 48% who believed he should drop out in April 2023.
