GOP primary voters shrug off indictments, 2024 voters likely to make them pay

The post-indictment weekend polls are in, and, spoiler alert: Republican primary voters aren't particularly concerned about Donald Trump's mishandling of documents that included blockbuster information related to U.S. nuclear programs, weapons capabilities, military war plans, and more.

Republicans' nonchalance about the GOP standard-bearer's alleged violation of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice is good news for Trump, but it presents yet another issue on which Republican voters are wildly out of step with the rest of the country.

A CBS News/YouGov survey found that while 76% of likely Republican primary voters were most concerned by the possibility that Trump's indictment was politically motivated, just 38% of Americans expressed concern about that, while an equal percentage of Americans were most concerned that Trump's possession of the documents presented a national security risk.

Note that among whites with a college degree, a 48% plurality were most concerned by the national security risk while a 51% majority of whites without a college degree were more concerned the indictment was politically motivated.
