In a turn of events, nearly half of Americans are demanding a resolution to Donald Trump’s 2020 election subversion case before he vies for the presidency again in November, according to a recent CNN poll.

The survey indicates a growing sentiment that the legal cloud hanging over Trump needs to be concluded before the nation heads to the polls.

The opinion poll, commissioned by CNN, revealed that 48% of respondents consider it “essential” for a verdict before the election, while an additional 16% express a preference for a timely resolution.

Amidst this, a noteworthy 25% believe Trump will never concede if he faces a second defeat against Joe Biden.

Surprisingly, expectations of Trump conceding have dropped from 37% to 25% since October. A staggering 78% of respondents fear Trump might attempt to pardon himself of federal charges if re-elected.

Despite Biden’s struggles in various polls, including a 20-point deficit in handling the economy, the specter of Trump’s legal troubles dominates the narrative. Over 90 criminal charges, ranging from attempting to nullify his defeat to illegal hush-money payments, cast a shadow on Trump’s potential candidacy.

The postponement of the federal election interference case, ordered by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, fuels uncertainty. If the DC Appeal Court rejects Trump’s immunity claim, the case might escalate to the US Supreme Court, prolonging the resolution.

Public sentiment aligns with the urgency for closure, as Bloomberg’s polling in key swing states indicates a reluctance to vote for a convicted or imprisoned Trump. Nevertheless, CNN’s data suggests that views on Trump’s post-2020 actions remain divided, with 45% deeming them illegal, 32% unethical, and 23% finding no fault.

As the nation stands on the precipice of another election, the demand for a decisive legal resolution underscores the complex interplay between politics and justice in shaping the trajectory of American democracy.
