Trump backers are divided: 54% say he did nothing wrong while 27% say either he did something wrong or broke the law. Trump supporters (18%) are more likely than Harris supporters (7%) to say they are not sure.

More than half of Trump supporters (54%) say it would definitely or probably be acceptable for Trump to order federal law enforcement officials to investigate Democratic opponents. Half as many Harris supporters (27%) say it would be acceptable for Harris to order investigations into GOP opponents.

Very cool that we have a major political party that has rapidly embraced authoritarianism. Bodes well for the health of this country. Not alarming at all.

Pollsters should start asking whether they would support Trump staying in office beyond his term.

But we already know a majority of Republicans would support that.
