From President Donald J. Trump:
In the wake of the FBI‘s raid of former President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago home on Monday, a new poll showed that more than 80 percent of Republican respondents said it made them more motivated to vote in the 2022 election.
In the survey from the Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action, which was conducted from August 9 to August 10, 71.7 percent of independent respondents said that the raid increased their drive to vote.

“Independent and Republican voters are united in their outrage about this unprecedented and tragic event in American history,” Meckler said in a statement about the poll results. “This gestapo-style injustice 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.”
