A new Rasmussen poll conducted since the indictment of former President Donald Trump shows he has taken a strong lead over Joe Biden for the presidency. The poll conducted on April 2 and 3, after the indictment announcement but before the arraignment, favored Trump at 47% over Biden at 40%. Political strategist and Trump advisor Dick Morris said, “This is a 10-point net gain for Donald Trump. Former President Trump has completely turned around the 2024 race for president.” Since the indictment, other polling shows Trump at 51% over Ron DeSantis at 21%.
