Donald Trump's historic indictment over allegations he mishandled classified documents doesn't appear to be tempering GOP voter support in New Hampshire, with a new poll showing only 23% of likely Republican primary voters there saying Trump is guilty.
A New Hampshire Journal/Coefficient poll released on Friday showed only 23% of likely Republican primary voters in the state said Trump is guilty of the 37-count indictment and should be punished. Yet 35% of those surveyed said the former president didn't do anything wrong, and an even higher group, 42%, were unsure of Trump breaking the law but said he is only being targeted for being Donald Trump.
Trump's closest competitor, Gov. Ron DeSantis , has a 46% approval rating and a 33% disapproval rating among those surveyed. In a match-up with Trump, DeSantis trailed the former president, 49% to 23%, a 26 percentage point difference. It's a sign that as the 2024 Republican presidential candidate field continues to expand, it's DeSantis, not Trump, who loses support, a fact that Trump allies have taunted as more lawmakers announce campaigns.
