Recent findings from a Harvard/Harris poll revealed that the majority of registered voters see former President Donald Trump’s indictment as more of a political ploy than a lawful act.
Politically Motivated or Valid: What’s the Deal with Trump’s Indictment?
This poll got into the nitty-gritty of public perception following Trump’s arraignment on a 37-count indictment. The charges? Allegedly swiping classified documents and whisking them off to Mar-a-Lago at the close of his presidency. The verdict? Well, 55% of respondents reckon this is politically motivated, while 45% believe it’s legit.
Indictment or Election Interference: You Decide
That’s not all. A whopping 56% of those surveyed see this indictment as DOJ’s interference in the 2024 elections. Only 44% believe it’s a fair play of law.
Acquittal on the Horizon for Trump?
Even more interesting, a majority of 57% think that Trump is likely to get acquitted of these charges. Most of the charges fall under the Espionage Act of 1917, making this one a high-stakes drama to follow.
Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Classified Documents: What Voters Think
The plot thickens! The poll also brought up President Joe Biden’s own classified documents case and Hillary Clinton’s notorious email scandal. Surprisingly, 65% of respondents believe Biden mishandled classified material, while 72% think Clinton did the same. In fact, 69% say Clinton “obstructed justice” by acid-washing her emails. Talk about a soap opera!
Is it a Fair Game or Selective Prosecution?
The million-dollar question remains. Is indicting a former president for taking classified documents after leaving office a fair application of justice or selective prosecution? The answer, according to 53% of voters, is that it’s “selective prosecution”. Only 47% believe the law is being applied evenly.

DOJ’s Case Against Trump: Strong or Weak?
Despite most voters believing in Trump’s likely acquittal, the majority also think that the DOJ has a “strong case” against Trump to varying degrees. In contrast, only 42% see it as weak.
The Public Verdict: Guilty or Innocent?
Interestingly, while 44% of voters think Trump is “probably guilty … and should be convicted”, 30% believe he’s “probably innocent”. Meanwhile, 26% think he might be guilty, but the indictment should not have been pursued as it’s too political and messes with the 2024 election.
Trump’s Dominance in the Primary Field: A Glimpse of 2024?
To add to this rollercoaster, the poll indicates Trump is running the show in the primary field and has a six-point lead over Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup.
