POLL: A majority of Americans believe Trump's claims in the Georgia election tampering case are serious
.....The former president is now facing four indictments, all of which he denies
Trump claims to have 'irrefutable' proof that the 2020 presidential election was rigged
The former president has stated that he will conduct a news conference on Monday to prove his baseless allegation that the election was stolen
In the midst of former President Donald Trump's fourth indictment, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds that a majority (63%) of Americans believe the charges approved by a grand jury in Georgia related to efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results are serious (47%) or somewhat serious (16%).
Trump's latest indictment was handed up in Fulton County on Monday, charging him and 18 people in a "criminal racketeering organization to overturn Georgia's presidential election results," according to District Attorney Fani Willis.
Trump claims he did nothing wrong and that the four cases brought against him are politically motivated and "un-American," which prosecutors refute. He has pled not guilty to his three previous charges, but
Only a quarter of individuals believe this week's indictment is not too serious (10%) or not severe at all (15%). Earlier in August, a similar proportion (24%) believed Trump's Jan. 6-related accusations were unimportant.
A plurality of Americans (49%), believe Trump should have been charged with a crime in the Georgia case, while 32% do not. According to an ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel, 55% of Americans believe Trump should pause his presidential campaign, while 33% believe he should not.
At the same time, a plurality (49%) believes Trump's claims in Georgia are politically motivated, while 35% believe they are not. All of these findings are consistent with the poll conducted immediately following Trump's election.
