New poll: Trump indictment will further help his reelection campaign

Published in Blog on March 31, 2023 by Brianna Kraemer

A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump on Thursday over alleged hush money payments during his 2016 presidential campaign, a move never conducted upon a former president.  

Although the indictment comes as a shock, voters overwhelmingly believe it will not harm or could even help Trump's presidential campaign. 

According to a new Trafalgar Group poll in partnership with Convention of States Action, 38% of American voters believe that the indictment and possible arrest of Donald Trump will have no impact on his run. An additional 37% believe it will benefit his reelection.  

“It’s obvious to the majority of Americans that former President Trump is being hounded by a politically-motivated witch hunt designed to discredit him in order to render him a permanent pariah in American politics,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “This tactic has never worked, and these early numbers already reveal it’s going to backfire."

The seven-year-old criminal charge is likely considered a misdemeanor, yet Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has the potential to elevate it to a felony charge by proving Trump falsified records to cover up a second crime.

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi revealed she doesn't uphold the American principle that people are innocent until proven guilty. 

We must address political power abuses, which is why Convention of States is working to call an Article V convention to rein in the power of the federal government. Sign the COS petition below.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
