The Mar-A-Lago Search

Key takeaways

• A large majority of Americans quickly became aware of the Mar-A-Lago search. Overall, 81 percent reported that they were aware of the search. Additionally, 82 percent of those who took the survey within a week after the search were already aware of it.

• Overall, Americans approved of the search by a 51-27 margin. Another 22 percent neither supported nor opposed the search.

• Democrats overwhelmingly supported the FBI search of Mar-A-Lago by an 84-3 margin. Over two thirds (69 percent) of Democrats strongly supported the search.

• A strong majority of Republicans opposed the search by a 64-13 margin. Additionally, 47 percent of Republicans strongly opposed the search.

• Independents were nearly twice as likely to support the search as they were to oppose it, with a 47-24 margin. Close to a third (32 percent) of independents strongly supported the search.

• The intensity of Republican opposition to the search decreased slightly as time following the search increased. While Republican support for the raid remained very low in both cases, those strongly opposing the raid dropped from 54 percent of Republicans who responded within a week of the search to 46 percent of Republicans who responded at least one week after the search. Very few Republicans supported the search regardless of when they took the survey, but the percentage of those strongly opposing it dipped over time.
