More people say Trump acted illegally in fed, state probes than in DA Bragg’s case: poll 

More people believe former President Donald Trump broke the law in three ongoing federal and state investigations than in the Trump probe by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that led to 34 felony counts.  

In an Associated Press-NORC poll released Thursday, 53% say Trump, 76, acted illegally in his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. 

In the same survey, 41% believe the former president acted illegally in Bragg’s case of alleged hush-money payments during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign to keep women quiet about alleged affairs.

More people also said they think Trump acted illegally regarding two federal probes overseen by special counsel Jack Smith than in the Trump case overseen by Bragg.

The survey also showed 49% think Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021 — when his supporters stormed the Capitol as Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory was being certified — violated the law. 

Similarly, 47% of those surveyed say he acted illegally in his handling of classified documents after leaving the Oval Office. 

According to the survey, 57% of respondents say charges against Trump in Manhattan for falsifying business records were justified — the same percentage that say the case was politically motivated. 

The AP-NORC poll of 1,230 adults between April 13 and April 17 has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points. 

Trump has vehemently denied any wrongdoing in the Manhattan case, calling it a political “witch hunt.” 

And though he benefited from a post-indictment bump in the polls, that boost appears to be waning. 

A Yahoo News/YouGov poll of surveyed voters 24 hours after Trump’s March 30 indictment recorded his largest lead over Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis to date in the 2024 Republican presidential primary — 57% to 31%.

A poll released Tuesday, however, found Trump’s advantage over DeSantis has dropped by 10 points in the last two weeks — to 52%-36%.
