New Poll Shows How FBI Raid on Trump Has Motivated Voters for 2022 Midterms

More than  70 percent of Americans say the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s residence in Florida increases their motivation to vote during the November midterms, according to a new poll.

Some 83.3 percent of Republicans said the raid increases their motivation to vote in 2022, while 10.8 percent said it doesn’t, according to a poll released by the Convention of States Action and The Trafalgar Group (pdf). Six percent say they are not sure.

Among Democrats, 55.2 percent said the raid increases their motivation to vote in the fall, while 34 percent said that it doesn’t. About 11 percent said they were not sure.

The poll also discovered that 71.7 percent of independents say the incident increases their motivation to vote in 2022 as compared to 20.8 percent who say it doesn’t. Over 7 percent said they were not sure.

It also found that 47.9 percent of Americans polled said that “Trump’s political enemies” were behind the FBI raid. About 39 percent said the “impartial justice system” was behind it, according to the survey, while 12 percent were not certain.

“Independent and Republican voters are united in their outrage about this unprecedented and tragic event in American history,” Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States Action—a conservative group—said in a statement. “It’s clear to voters that the FBI raid is designed to punish the primary political enemy of the regime in power.”

He added that the raid “has created a voting surge that is so significant, the polling doesn’t even begin to reflect what is coming from grassroots voters in November.”

Trump’s family on Tuesday said that they have broken fundraising records following the FBI raid. While details regarding how much was raised weren’t disclosed, Trump’s team has sent out numerous emails and text messages with links to donation sites.
