WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Over three-quarters of Republicans in the United States believe that the political enemies of former President Donald Trump are behind the FBI’s recent raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence, a Trafalgar Group poll said on Thursday.
While only 47.9% of respondents overall believe that Trump’s political opponents are behind the raid, 76.6% of Republican respondents in particular said that they hold such a belief, according to the poll.
Moreover, the raid increased the motivation of 83.3% of Republicans to vote in the 2022 midterm election this fall, the poll said.
In contrast, 70.5% of Democrats believe that the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago was the result of an impartial justice system, the poll said. Just under 40% of respondents as a whole hold this belief, according to the poll.
The poll, which was done alongside the Convention of States Action, was conducted between August 9-10 and surveyed 1,095 likely voters. The poll’s margin of error is 2.9% with a 95% confidence.
