Specifically, 55% of those polled do not think that the former president's legal problems will hurt his presidential campaign:

Specifically, the poll asked voters the following, "Will the prosecution of Trump hurt or help his chances of winning next year's presidential elections?" The results were conclusive: 23% said prosecutions would help Trump to become president in 2024; 32% considered that "it will not make much difference," and 35% generally considered that it will hurt the tycoon, while 10% said they were "not sure" of how his legal problems would affect the tycoon in his presidential race.

Nearly half of Democrats believe Trump lawsuits will indeed hurt his candidacy
The poll, conducted between July 23 and 25 among 989 likely voters and with a margin of error of three points, also revealed other interesting data. Nearly half of those who said they vote Democratic (48%), believe the charges Trump faces will indeed be an impediment to his return to the White House while nearly a quarter do not believe the indictment will make any difference.
Republicans and independents are more confident. Twenty-four percent of respondents who say they support the Republican Party believe impeachment will hurt the former president, while 31 percent say it will help Trump in the 2024 election campaign. In addition, 37% of Republican respondents say it will make no difference while 7% are unsure what retaliation the charges might have on Trump's candidacy.
