Even though Donald Trump was recently indicted for the third time — this time for his alleged involvement in the January 6 riots and for potentially trying to overturn the 2020 election — it seems like his supporters are willing to have his back.
In the latest New York Times-Sienna poll, it showed he has a 37-point lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Additionally, Trump has a 76 percent favorable rating among Republican voters.
Even more baffling? 71 percent of Republican voters do not believe the former president, 77, “committed serious federal crimes.”
On the other hand, 17 percent agreed “Trump has committed serious federal crimes,” while another 12 percent refused to answer or did not know.

"They’re pretty angry, which should not surprise anyone. We have seen him get progressively angrier as these indictments have been coming. This is the third case in which he is indicted. But on this one in particular, there is a sense of indignance around it. You are hearing people close to the former president say they now feel like they can move to subpoena everybody who might have done something related to 2020. That does not mean that judge will actually allow them to do that. But that’s what their plan is. They are looking at how they can maximize this politically, if nothing else," CNN analyst Maggie Haberman told CNN This Morning co-anchors Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly of what is going on behind the scenes.
