Nearly half of American voters think former President Donald Trump is guilty of attempting to overturn the 2020 election, and Democrats in particular want to see Trump punished. Additionally, many support criminal punishment for members of the media who alleged that fraud tainted the 2020 outcome.
That’s according to the latest survey by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute.
The polling found that 47% of likely U.S. voters believe Trump is guilty of crimes associated with an alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election, while 41% don’t think Trump is guilty and 13% are not sure.
Trump is scheduled to stand trial in March 2024 for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, a case prosecuted by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Seventy-two percent (72%) of Democrats believe Trump is guilty of crimes in the case, as do 20% of Republicans and 45% of voters not affiliated with either major party.
If Trump is found guilty of crimes for attempting to overturn the 2020 election, 34% of all likely voters believe his punishment should be a fine, while 44% want the former president sentenced to prison, including seven percent (7%) who want him imprisoned for life.
Three percent (3%) would exile Trump from the country, two percent (2%) think he should get the death penalty. Another 18% are not sure.

For all candidates for the USA Presidency I offer some advice. I know a little bit about dishonesty and lies. I have told lies and I regret doing so. I have used my influence sometimes in dishonest ways. I too, have been the subject of some enormous lies… Please Lord Jesus forgive me my transgressions. Forgive me if I have hurt anyone by telling lies. I denounce evil of all kinds. I pray to God that I may be forgiven my sins. Amen. See how easy that is…? If you want to lead the free world, then repent publicly and let the Lord guide you. Humble pie has a great aftertaste.

Just another example of how badly the media has failed to inform/educate the public.
The goal was never to truly inform or educate. They are the stuff that Goebbels could only dream of.
Yes indeed. We would not see survey results like this were not the media spreading lies and propaganda.

Of course, because they know the next time if he gets in, the infamous DC jails will be filled with them.

Guilty of attempting to overturn an election ? Do they mean the same crime committed by Al Gore and Hillary Clinton in attempting to overturn an election ? How about all the candidates who sued to have their election results overturned.? Meanwhile, a real crime was witnessed by thousands, if not millions of people worldwide where votes were switched on screen, boxes of fake ballots were opened and counted, ballots double, triple, quadruple counted , machines connected to the internet, and the perpetrators go to a corrupt court with corrupt judges in a corrupt District of Colombia Court room and render a 148 million dollar verdict against a citizen who saw the fraud and reported it. Is that the crime of attempting to overturn an election or is that a President and citizens doing their duty to report an actual coup against the United States government by members of a political party that has become a communist terror organization ? This is not a crime, it is a political persecution by enemies of the Constitutional Republic in an attempt to establish a democracy, a system of government that was rejected by the founders on the grounds that it has failed in every instance it has been tried.
Agree!
All fed by the “blood money” additction provided by the DNC, swamp dwelers and others who fear a Trump reelection and pushed 24/7/365 by of the corrupt and complicit leftwing print,electronic and social media organizations filled with faux journalists and believed by the useful idiiots who believe the lies.

And now one of the people who, on the night of the election actually heard one of the ballot collectors asking for more money before he would collect any more ballots, and who then had the temerity to represent the Oath Keepers, has been declared incompetent to stand trial and is confined to a Bureau of Prisons mental facility.
We are living in the Soviet Union.

Hypocrites! At the same time the non critical thinkers (indoctrinated by the media and apathetic) believe there’s “no smoking gun” when it comes to the Biden Crime Family, including RINO Lindsay Graham.
A good friend of mine said he voted for Biden in. 2020 (had voted for Trump 2016) because Trump had not accomplished anything. I WOKE him up by sending him the extensive list of his administration’s accomplishments. Members of my own family (MN) are so brainwashed they don’t want to hear the facts.
You CANNOT be a progressive and remain a Christian. God’s word does NOT change. Unfortunately my former church (Catholic) thinks they can.

I think Democrats who support totalitarian measures to suppress dissent should create a new party more in keeping with their beliefs: the Authoritarian Party.

“Democrats want harsh penalties placed on former President Trump”
The Dems will have no grounds for objecting to being severely [and appropriately] punished for their real crimes against America that they tried to project onto Trump.
“Nearly half of American voters think former President Donald Trump is guilty of attempting to overturn the 2020 election, and Democrats in particular want to see Trump punished.”
LOL LOL LOL — I wonder how many of those law-abiding citizens care about the fact that Jack Smith was ILLEGALLY appointed as “Special Counsel,” and how many would be willing to disperse their lynch mobs long enough to read the Amicus Brief filed in the Supreme Court by former Attorney General Ed Meese, outlining the reasons that Smith’s office and position as Special Counsel are a grotesque violation of the law that Smith pretends to uphold:

IF and that is a Yuge IF, Trump is found guilty of a crime by an unbiased and fair jury, then he should be prohibited from running for POTUS. But IMHO, Trump has not committed any crimes other than pissing off the Leftist.
Anyone who fails to see the fraud perptrated on the US voter in 2020 just is not paying attention, TDS has blinded them or they are just too ideologically left to admit it. At a minimum COVID allowed several states to circumvent State Constitutions, promote democrat voter turnout in voilation of State rules. The other end of that is outright fraud and ballot tampering.
But as we have seen the past several years, if not decades, the democrat leftist will accuse other of the violations they are committing. More recently the DOJ has been weaponized, with the assistance of the propaganda media to put forth bogus charges without any evidence which will only convict Trump in the court of public opinion.
