A new poll released by YouGov has revealed a prevailing sense of distrust among Republican voters regarding the fairness of legal proceedings against the former president Donald Trump.
The poll showed a clear difference between Republicans and Democrats. According to the poll, many Republicans are skeptical that cases against Trump are being handled fairly. On the other hand, Democrats generally trust that these lawsuits will be conducted fairly.
73% of Republicans surveyed believe the federal election subversion case related to Trump’s alleged actions during the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot was handled unfairly. Likewise, this is skepticism about Georgia’s election case, with 71% of Republicans questioning its fairness.

Republicans have a little less reservations about the silence and classified documents cases, but they still have doubts.
In contrast, a significant portion of the general U.S. population, at least 40%, believes that these cases are handled fairly.
While the survey reflects mixed opinions, it also highlights that most Americans recognize the severity of these cases, albeit with varying levels of concern.
The poll, which polls 1,000 adult US citizens, carries a margin of error of four percentage points. Amid these legal entanglements, Trump has continued his campaign for a return to the presidency, navigating through a complex landscape of legal and political challenges.
The YouGov poll was conducted online from January 25 to January 29.
