'Recent polls from Fox News, Monmouth University and Quinnipiac University have shown how Trump’s Republican primary prospects have improved,' writes Harry Enten | Analysis
But many Republican officials seem hesitant to attack the former president , and betting markets still favor Trump for the GOP nomination in 2024. So what’s going on? We’re in an obviously unprecedented situation, and the political reality can change post-indictment. Still, Republicans and bettors are likely reacting to three facts: Recent polls from Fox News, Monmouth University and Quinnipiac University have shown how Trump’s Republican primary prospects have improved.
Likewise, polling indicates that most Republicans believe Trump was righteous in those efforts, with a majority continuing to believe the falsehood that Joe Biden only won the election because of voter fraud. Of course, the fact that Republicans believe these cases are politically motivated is only part of what is at play here. The other component is how Republicans view Trump in the context of the broader general electorate.
