A new poll seems to show waning support for former PresidentDonald Trump’s political future, with more than 50% of respondents saying he should be barred from serving as president again down the road.

Fifty-one percent of respondents said that in light of his legal troubles, he should not be allowed to serve as president again. Only 35% said he should be allowed back in the White House. The remaining 14% were not sure.

Jamie Raskin (D-MD) (not pictured) presents evidence during the seventh hearing held by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol on July 12, 2022 in the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, DC. The bipartisan committee, which has been gathering evidence related to the January 6, 2021 attack at the U.S. Capitol for almost a year, is presenting its findings in a series of televised hearings. On January 6, 2021, supporters of President Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol Building in an attempt to disrupt a congressional vote to confirm the electoral college win for Joe Biden.

As Americans have learned in previous elections, political polling should be taken with a grain of salt. But while Trumpcontinues to weighlaunching apresidential campaign for 2024, any sign of diminishing momentum poses a challenge in gaining the support required for a successful bid.
