Three polls conducted after his second indictment show Trump in a comfortable first place.
Okay, but why do we care about polls as much now? Haven’t they been spectacularly wrong for the past few election cycles? Not all, but I definitely feel like the overall accuracy and reliability of most national and state polling has been exceptionally poor.
In any case, I’m not at all surprised that his supporters aren’t bothered by the indictments. It’s a cult. Like, actually.
I don’t think incumbent presidents ever have a real primary. Trump didn’t for his second run in 2020. He only does now because he lost (can’t think of another time the incumbent lost and ran again, so nothing to compare it to.)

Oh no, the DNC won’t allow that to happen.
Do they see him as an election winner? Or is he just dancing to their tune?
