The FBI raided former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago residence just a little over a week ago.
Extensive polling has been conducted and has found that Trump’s base was energized by the raid and the public at large had serious concerns over the raid.
A new poll also found that a growing number of Americans are worried that the United States may be resembling a Third World nation.
A Rasmussen poll found that 55 percent of voters believe that FBI raids would happen in Third World countries.
The poll also revealed that “young voters”, a demographic Democrats can’t afford to lose, are especially concerned about the raid.
Only 50 percent of voters aged 65 or older shared this concern. Also, 58 percent of voters between 40 and 64 characterized the FBI raid as third-world, and so did 58 percent of voters under 40.
Another poll revealed that more than 80 percent of Republican voters said the raid made them “more motivated” to vote in the 2022 election.
A Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action survey found that 71.7 percent of Independent respondents said that the raid increased their drive to vote.
Newsweek reported:
Overall, more respondents (47.9 percent) said that they believed “Trump’s political enemies” were behind the raid in comparison to those who said that the “impartial justice system” was responsible (39.7 percent). Another 12.4 percent said that they weren’t sure.
A large majority of Republicans (76.7 percent) believe that Trump’s political enemies were responsible for the raid, while just 11.9 percent of Democrats gave the same answer.
Another 70.5 percent of Democrats said that they believed the impartial justice system was behind the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Among, independent respondents, 53.9 percent said that Trump’s enemies were responsible and 35.3 percent said that it was the impartial justice system.
Soon after the raid happened, Eric Trump said on Truth Social that Donald Trump was taking in so many donations, likely in anticipation of Trumoannoucning he will run for president.
“Breaking: DonaldJTrump.com is shattering all fundraising records and I’m told has raised more money in the past 24 hours than ever before in recent history! The American people are pissed!” Eric Trump posted.
President Trump also took to Truth Social and said:
“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” he said.
“It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections,” he added. “Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.”
Trump has not officially announced if he will run in 2024, but he has said that he has made up his mind on his decision.
