A new ABC News/Ipsos survey of “US adults” – meaning the most MAGA-friendly type of sample as opposed to registered and likely voters – finds that 51 percent of self-identified independents and 67 percent of “double-hater” respondents who dislike both Biden and Trump said the convicted felon former president should drop out of the 2024 election after getting nailed on 34 felonies.
In yet another example of that overlap we love so much, significant numbers of both of these sub-samples – 45 percent of independents and 51 percent of the “double-haters” – said the Manhattan case against Trump was politically motivated, meaning at least 2 percent of the indies and 18 percent of the “double-haters,” would be okay with it if a “political” case ended Trump’s campaign.
