What do U.S. consumers think about the indictment of former President Donald Trump? What are their opinions about crime, violence and gun control? Leger\u2019s latest North American Tracker<\/a> has the answers.<\/p>\n

\"crime-scene\"<\/p>\n

Sentiment is a primary driver when it comes to U.S. consumers\u2019 behavior. Leger\u2019s North American Tracker provides a pulse check on U.S. consumers\u2019 perspectives on current events. This edition explores their perspectives on Donald Trump\u2019s indictment, crime, and violence.<\/p>\n

What do the findings reveal about Trump, crime, and violence?<\/h2>\n

From a research perspective, Simon Jaworski<\/a>, Executive Vice-President, US, noted,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMore than half of all Americans feel crime and violence have worsened in the post-COVID era, which ultimately means this issue will no doubt become a focal point at the ballot box.<\/p>\n

Perhaps even more pertinent is the fact that fears for Americans\u2019 safety are significantly higher among Republican voters (at 67%), which means whoever looks strongest between former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on crime may get a distinct advantage in the 2023 GOP primary race.<\/p>\n

Leger\u2019s latest poll has Trump (52%) significantly ahead of DeSantis (22%) among Republican voters for the Republican presidential candidacy, but with Trump currently under an indictment by the State of New York that is supported by 55% of Americans, we still don\u2019t know if Trump\u2019s campaign will get off the ground any time soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

About the Study<\/h2>\n

Leger\u2019s North American Tracker is a monthly quantitative survey of 1,000+ U.S. (and Canadian) consumers aged 18 or over. Our team of market researchers evaluates and analyzes the data from the North American Tracker to reveal the most current consumer sentiments and behaviors.<\/p>\n

U.S. Politics Highlights: Donald Trump\u2019s Indictment<\/h2>\n

Similar Proportions of Americans Approve of the Indictment and Expect a Guilty Verdict<\/h3>\n

After being charged with 34 felony counts, former President Donald Trump became the first president to have ever been charged with a crime<\/a>. Our research uncovered that a slight majority of Americans approve of Donald Trump\u2019s indictment, but Republican voters prefer him over Ron DeSantis by a large margin for the 2024 GOP presidential candidacy.<\/p>\n
