Quinipac College, located in the eastern US state of Connecticut, conducted a national poll on the upcoming public office of former President Trump.

Fifty-five percent of respondents said Trump should be disqualified from re-running for office, including the 2024 presidential election.

43% said they should not be disqualified.

However, depending on the political party supporting, public opinion diverged sharply.

For Republicans, 87% said they should allow former President Trump to take office in the future, and 75% said they want Trump to play a role in the future of the party.

On the other hand, 96% of Democrats and 61% of nonpartisans said that former President Trump should not be held in public office.

68% of all respondents acknowledged President Trump’s responsibility for the invasion of the Capitol on the 6th of last month.

Trump said he did not do everything he could to stop the riots.

Fifty percent of respondents said that former President Trump deliberately spread false information about election fraud, and only 42 percent said he believed he truly believed the false claims.

The survey was conducted on 1,56 adults across the United States between 11 and 14 days after being acquitted, including the period of the Senate impeachment trial, with a sample error of ±3 percentage points.
