Majorities of Georgia Voters Say Criminal Charges Against Former President Trump Are Fair, That Trump Should Stand Trial and End Campaign:

SurveyUSA's latest exclusive polling for 11Alive News in Atlanta shows majorities of Georgia voters calling the 13 Georgia criminal charges against Donald Trump fair and calling for him to end his campaign for the Presidency.

51% of voters say those charges are fair; 33% say they are unfair. 17% say they aren't yet sure.

Unsurprising, in SurveyUSA's eyes: overwhelming numbers of 2020 Biden voters, liberals, Democrats, and Black voters call the charges fair; overwhelming numbers of 2020 Trump voters, conservatives, and Republicans call the charges unfair. What may, however, give pause to Trump campaign staffers, are numbers like these:
  • Among white voters, 69% of whom voted for Trump in 2020 according to exit polling, only 48% say the charges are unfair, compared to 36% who call them fair: a 12-point plurality for unfairness ... compared to a 63-point majority of Black voters who say the charges are fair.
  • In the suburbs, where the same exit polling shows Trump having eked out a 3-point win in the last election, 58% of voters say the charges are fair, compared to 27% who call them unfair.
  • Among Trump's own 2020 voters, 16% say the charges are fair, compared to 66% who say they are not, a 50-point majority calling the charges unfair – which not only is dwarfed by the 81-point majority of Biden voters who say the charges are fair, but which begs the question: how will that 16% of voters who supported Trump in 2020 but who today say the criminal charges against the former President are fair vote next November, if they turn out at all?
By a 9-point majority, 51% to 42%, voters say the former President should end his campaign. Support for continuing the campaign is highest among those describing themselves as very conservative (79%), among 2020 Trump voters (78%), and among Republicans (75%). Support for ending the campaign is highest among very liberal voters (89%), 2020 Biden voters (86%), and Democrats (83%).

48% say the charges against Donald Trump are better described as an attempt to hold him accountable; 42% say they are better described as an attempt to influence the next election.

Voters split evenly on whether putting Donald Trump on trial will be good or bad for the country, with 34% saying it would be good (including 63% of liberals) and another 34% saying it would be bad (including 59% of conservatives). 24% say it will make no difference to the country either way.

55% say Donald Trump should stand trial on these charges; just 21% say he should seek a plea agreement. Support for a plea agreement is highest, at 29%, among those who say they voted for Trump in 2020.

43% say that Trump will be found guilty of some or all of the charges against him if he stands trial, including 66% of Democrats and 25% of Republicans. 34% say he will be found not guilty of all charges, including 57% of Republicans and 16% of Democrats. Independents believe the former President will be found guilty by a 12-point margin, 40% to 28%.

If Trump does stand trial, majorities of every demographic group say they are likely to watch, with 69% overall saying they are likely to watch (41% very likely, 28% somewhat likely), and 27% saying they are not likely to watch (14% not very likely, 13% not likely at all).

Meanwhile, all of this is occuring in an environment where Joe Biden's net job approval rating is 15 points underwater, and 21 points below the net job approval Georgia voters say they had of Donald Trump while he was in office:
  • Biden is at -15 today, with 41% saying they approve of the job he is doing as President (15% strongly approve, 26% somewhat approve) and 56% saying they disapprove (14% somewhat disapprove, 42% strongly disapprove).
  • Trump is at +6 when voters are asked if they, overall, approved or disapproved of the job Trump did as President when he was in office. 51% say they approved (28% strongly, 23% somewhat); 45% say they disapproved (10% somewhat, 35% strongly).
  • By way of comparison: Governor Brian Kemp today is at +21, with 58% approving (19% strongly, 39% somewhat) and 37% disapproving (20% somewhat, 17% strongly).
  • Fani Willis, the Fulton County District attorney who has brought the charges against Donald Trump, is at +8, with 32% saying they approve (18% strongly, 14% somewhat) and 24% saying they disapprove (9% somewhat, 15% strongly) of the job she is doing as DA. 44% are not sure.
