US News -Forty percent of Republicans say they are more likely to vote for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP primary in the wake of charges connected to his role in a hush money scheme, according to a poll released Friday...And while Trump’s stock seems to have risen among Republicans, there is modest consensus among all respondents that the charges in the indictment are believable, according to the survey, which was conducted by Reuters and Ipsos this week after Trump was arraigned in Manhattan on Tuesday on charges of felony falsification of business records.Thirty-three percent of Republicans are “much” more likely to support Trump after his indictment while another 7% say they are “somewhat” more likely – and another 38% say that it will not affect their vote either way. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of independents say it won’t affect their vote, while 20% say it makes them less likely to vote for the former president.
