Donald Trump's actions has divided Americans along party lines, AP-NORC poll says

A new poll shows Americans are deeply divided along party lines in their views of President Donald Trump’s actions in the most recent criminal charges brought against him. The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that about half of Americans say Trump's alleged attempt to interfere in Georgia’s 2020 vote count was illegal. The poll, which was conducted before Monday’s charges in the Georgia case, also shows that about half of Americans approve of the Justice Department indicting Trump over his efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election.

@JoshuaHolland 15% of Republicans think Trump did something illegal in Georgia and/or on Jan 6? That's actually a bigger number than I would have guessed.

@JoshuaHolland

It's incredibly disingenuous how they write these headlines.
☠️
Your "alt-headline" is actually more accurate than the "real" headline.

@JoshuaHolland Can’t believe the Justice Department is politicizing the attempted overthrow of the government. Sad.

@JoshuaHolland I’m frustrated with treating “party lines” as an accurate depiction of American opinion when Independents are the largest voting block. I don’t feel represented by either party at this point. Our two party system has degraded into a ‘Hatfields vs McCoys’ situation with tribal loyalty over actual principles where progress is stalled in an endless cycle of wasted resources.

@lochnix They're around 20% in that poll

@JoshuaHolland So if America is divided along party lines, I guess that mans less than a third of the country are Republican voters?

@trueslicky yeah, varies by poll but around that.

@JoshuaHolland And considering that one-third of the country is doing absolutely nothing to extend its appeal to independents or non-voters, it's a safe assumption that Biden will cakewalk into being re-elected regardless of who the GP nominee is....

No wonder they're trying to desperately conjure up this fake narrative of the "Biden crime family" out of thin air.

@trueslicky @JoshuaHolland Most of the analysis I see is that 22%-29% will vote Red no matter what.

@MiriShuli @JoshuaHolland So then my math pencils out! Those are the dead-enders. It's the 66%+ of the population that need to be persuaded to vote, and not for the fascists...
