Post-Mar-a-Lago-Raid Poll Delivers Democrats Some Very Painful News
August 11, 2022
If Democrats were hoping to have finally put a nail in former President Donald Trump’s political hopes with Monday’s FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, they couldn’t have been more wrong.
The image of federal agents swooping into the home of the most visible face of opposition to the misbegotten Joe Biden presidency has galvanized Republican voters looking forward to turning out for the midterm elections in November.
And a poll released Thursday from one of the country’s top polling firms tells the story.
According to a Trafalgar Group survey, 83 percent of Republicans surveyed said they now were more motivated to head to the polls in November, versus only 55 percent of Democratic voters.
Even more telling, more than 70 percent of those who expressed no party affiliation said the raid had made them more motivated to vote – and another question on the poll suggests that it’s not because they’ve suddenly become more aware that Trump and the Republican Party are the kind of “danger to democracy” CNN keeps bleating about.
Answering what they thought was the motivation behind the raid, almost half of Americans overall felt it was the work of “Trump’s political enemies.”
It’s bad enough that almost half of the American public apparently thinks the nation’s once-esteemed premier law enforcement agency is acting as street-thug enforcers for the Democratic Party. The numbers are far worse when Democratic respondents are removed.
Fully three-quarters of Republicans surveyed (76.7 percent) and over half of non-affiliated respondents (53.9 percent) said Trump’s political enemies were behind the raid.
Among Democrats, bless their hearts, only about 12 percent (11.9) said the action was political, while 70.5 percent said it was the result of “an impartial justice system.”
(The staggering, obdurate naivete involved in a number like would be almost endearing if it weren’t infuriating – it’s like finding out 70.5 percent of kindergartners still believe in the Tooth Fairy — then finding out their parents do, too.)
Meanwhile, of course, the lords of the mainstream media can’t help but preach to the American public how the raid is the kind of Serious Matter that has them furrowing their objective brows.
In an editorial published Wednesday that appeared to be deliberately written to provide an example of what the word “risible” means in a political context, The Washington Post’s august editors decried not the precedent-setting raid on a former president’s home by armed federal agents, but the Republican Party’s outraged response.
“Republicans are proclaiming outrage over the search, arguing that no president has ever been subjected to such a proceeding.
They may be right,” the Post proclaimed. “But then, no modern president has been the subject of as many and varied investigations as Mr. Trump — who invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination in one of them on Wednesday.”
Ah, so the facts that Trump has been dogged by corrupt federal investigations since he became a serious challenge to Hillary Clinton’s claim to the presidency in 2016, was dogged by a hoax of a “Russia collusion” investigation by federal agents for years of his presidency, and was subject to a sham impeachment based on the words of moles inside the National Security Council working with demonstrably dishonest lawmakers like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-8th Circle of Hell), should be considered proof that he deserved to be targeted yet again.
