Donald Trump Deserves Full Immunity, New Hampshire Voters Say In New Poll

donald trump deserves full immunity, new hampshire voters say in new poll

A significant majority of Republicans in New Hampshire support former President Donald Trump’s claim to absolute immunity from prosecution for actions taken during his presidency, according to a recent Marist poll. Trump, who currently holds a 14-point lead in New Hampshire, is seeing voters endorsing at least some of his legal arguments as he faces four criminal cases.

In response to the question, “Do you think Donald Trump should have immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took while he was president?,” 69% of Republicans expressed support for immunity. Independents, who play a crucial role in the state’s GOP primary, showed a less overwhelming stance, with 29% in favor and 68% opposed.

Among Democrats, only 5% favored immunity, while a staggering 95% opposed the idea. This dynamic comes at a time when Trump’s legal battles coincide with his political endeavors. As Trump’s defense heads to the Supreme Court, and with the New Hampshire primary looming, he passionately reiterated his call for ‘full immunity’ for presidents, drawing a comparison to combating crime despite the presence of the occasional ‘rogue cop.’

This development occurred as a three-judge federal appeals court panel weighed Trump’s claim of ‘absolute’ immunity from prosecution, particularly in the context of the ongoing assessment of his objection to the January 6 prosecution.

Trump wrote on TruthSocial: ‘A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. ANY MISTAKE, EVEN IF WELL INTENDED, WOULD BE MET WITH ALMOST CERTAIN INDICTMENT BY THE OPPOSING PARTY AT TERM END. EVEN EVENTS THAT ‘CROSS THE LINE’ MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD.’
