Even though most voters say that the case against the former president is “strong,” they don’t want to see him serving jail time

    I’d take this with a grain of salt. Mark Penn, chairman of The Harris Poll and one of three who supervised this poll, is a known Trump supporter who believes in the Democratic “deep state” conspiracy theory. Dritan Nesho, CEO of HarrisX and the second person supervising this poll, tries to appear bipartisan in public, is a little more discreet but is also a Trump supporter. I gave up looking up stuff on these people cuz I feel gross now. Dunno how The Harris Poll and HarrisX are affiliated. Yeah this poll is b.s.

      It’s silly to judge a polling outfit solely on the politics of their CEO.

      FWIW, 538 gave Harris a “B” grade with 83% accuracy in 2020. If anything, Harris seemed to overestimate Biden’s support (eg they predicted Trump would lose FL and NC).

        Their accuracy of their election prediction is separate from their polling bias. I mentioned in a higher comment that their polling technique has been described as “when Harvard Poll meets Fox News” and that they “cherrypick to advance agendas”

    No. He did too much damage and changed laws so he could hurt others and it bit him in the ass. Why should he be pardoned?

    Prison for the rest of his life, to set a precedent that Nobody is above the law. And that all conmen deserve punishment.

    Regarding President Joe Biden, Trump’s disinformation campaign against him and his son, Hunter, also appears to have taken root in voters’ minds. The majority of respondents, 55 percent, said the FBI is “not really investigating” corruption allegations against Biden while 57 percent believe Biden “took a $5 million bribe” while serving as vice president, despite no evidence of that occurring.

    this shows you who they polled.
