Nearly half of voters in Georgia believe Trump should be disqualified if guilty of election interference

Nearly half of Georgia voters believe the former president should be disqualified if Fulton County prosecutors prove Trump is guilty of charges brought by DA Fani Willis.

Non-partisan research company SSRS conducted the survey, and CNN commissioned it. Over 1000 registered voters were asked various questions regarding the 2024 elections, and answers revealed how deeply divided the state is.

One of the questions was regarding the approval of charges against Trump, and 52 percent of those polled agreed with the DA’s decision. If charges were proven accurate, 47 percent think the former president should be disqualified from the race.

In contrast, 39 percent said it would not reflect on Trump’s fitness to be president. Around 14 percent would not disqualify the 45th president, though it would reflect poorly on his potential reelection.

If the elections were today

Biden already had a minor margin in 2020, and if the presidential election were held today and both parties kept the same candidates as in 2020, the president would be in trouble. Voters said they would choose Trump over Biden, with 49 supportive of the former president compared to 44 percent that would vote for the current POTUS.

The rest had other ideas

A small percent of voters, only six, would vote for someone else, and one percent said they had no plans of voting. Among those who would vote for Trump, there is a group of those who chose Biden in 2020 but now tilt in Trump’s direction.

Question of economy

The survey gave insight into some of the most worrying aspects of the Biden administration. The voters were asked about the economy, and 54 said that the situation had worsened, while only 26 said it had improved. Still, 43 percent are closer to the values of the Democratic party, while 32 percent are closer to the Republicans.

Voters are mainly motivated

Around 61 percent of voters said they were extremely motivated to vote in the upcoming elections, while 16 percent said they were very motivated. Another 13 percent claimed they were somewhat motivated, while the rest were not too motivated.

Among voters, 63 percent believe President Biden won the 2020 elections fairly, while 35 percent claim he did not legitimately secure enough votes for the presidency. The rest are suspicions. The polling included 35 percent of voters who described themselves as Democrats, 33 percent as Republicans, and 31 percent as independents or members of another party.

Trump’s RICO charges in Georgia

In August, Trump and 18 co-defendants pleaded not guilty to all charges in the Fulton County district attorney’s sweeping racketeering indictment. Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell, Jena Ellis, and Scott Hall took plea deals and will testify against other defendants.

The damning call

The case against Trump and co-conspirators was sparked by a phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, telling him to “find 11,780 votes.” The Fulton County case is one of four major indictments Trump is facing, with the D.C. case also being related to the alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 elections.

Georgia’s victory will be tight

Political strategist Brian Robinson told Atlanta News First, “Whoever wins is going to win by a pretty small margin, more than likely,” adding, “So there could be any number of small issues that impact who gets just over the line and gets our 16 electoral votes..”

Independent and undecided voters will follow

Robinson thinks that the ballot battles across the nation will affect Georgia voters. Maine and Colorado barred Trump from the primary ballot. These states used the 14 Amendment of the Constitution, section 3, or the so-called insurrection clause, and 14 other states have pending cases regarding Trump’s eligibility to appear on the ballot.
