The unprecedented felony prosecution of former President Donald Trump in New York City is bad for America, according to a majority of voters who say the case is “banana republic sort of stuff.”
That’s according to Rasmussen Reports.
The survey finds that 55% say the felony charges against Trump are bad for America.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) say they believe that prosecuting the former president is good for the country.
Trump’s appearance in a Manhattan courtroom last week marked the first time in history a former president has been arraigned for a crime.
Forty-two percent (42%) of voters say they believe the prosecution of Trump will make it more likely he will win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, while 29% say they think the prosecution makes it less likely Trump will be the GOP nominee next year.
Nineteen percent (19%) say they think the prosecution will not make much difference to Trump’s chances of getting the 2024 Republican nomination and another 11% say they are not sure.
“Banana republic” typically refers to a “small, poor country, often reliant on a single export or limited resource, governed by an authoritarian regime and characterized by corruption and political graft.”
