While that 54% support is starkly split along party lines — 95% of Democrats support prosecuting Trump, while 85% of Republicans do not — a preponderance of independents (57%) believe the former president should face charges, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University.

Nearly half of those surveyed (49%) said the federal charges had no impact on their view of Trump, with 37% responding that it made them think less of him, and 12% thinking more favorably. Among Republicans, 59% said it had no impact, with 28% finding him more favorable.

President Joe Biden enjoyed 72% support in the Democratic primary, and led Trump 47-46 in a head-to-head matchup, suggesting yet another close race.
