The New York Times reported last week that President Donald Trump had discussed with his advisers the possibility of pardoning his three elder children––Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump––as well as his attorney, Rudy Giuliani. And now a Morning Consult-Politico poll has found that more voters believe it would be inappropriate of the president to pardon his family members.
The poll, published earlier today, found:
The poll of 1,990 registered voters, which has a margin of error of 2 percentage points, was conducted between December 4 and December 6, after the Times story dropped and after Politico reported that the president is considering pardoning a significant portion of his inner circle.
“The news is chiefly resonating among the president’s detractors: 34 percent of voters who have an unfavorable view of him said they’d heard a lot about a potential pardoning spree, compared to 15 percent of those with a favorable view of him who said the same,” Morning Consult observed.
