“Amid multiple allegations of wrongdoing against former President Trump, what’s striking is that, although Republicans still largely back him, White evangelical Christians are not as strongly behind him,” Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, said alongside the poll results. “There is a consensus among Republicans that, although everything may not have been above board, Trump has done nothing illegal.”
The survey was conducted from March 20 to 23 with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
