Before-and-after survey results show the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid last
week largely encouraged Republican voters to go to the ballot box in
November for the midterms.

The FBI on Aug. 8, in an unprecedented move, raided the home of former
President Donald Trump for a potential violation of the Espionage Act,
before allegedly finding four sets of top-secret documents and seven
other sets of classified information that the former president removed
from the White House.

One poll (pdf) conducted from Aug. 13–16 by the Economist/YouGov,
found that 51 percent of Republican respondents said they were more
enthusiastic about the 2022 midterm elections compared to the previous
congressional election year. It turned out to be a 6 percent increase
from an Aug. 7–9 poll result (pdf), showing only 45 percent were more
devoted to voting.

The growth was smaller when it came to Democrat and Independent
voters—both increased after the raid by one point to 36 percent and 25
percent respectively. Both surveys asked 1,500 adult citizens
nationwide, declaring a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.

The recent raid by the FBI in Palm Beach has solidified Trump’s hold
on the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, according to conservatives
and analysts. Trump’s family and aides also slammed the move as being
politically motivated to prevent the former president from regaining
the presidency.

The release of findings came as Trump’s 2022 endorsement record grows
to 209–17, according to Breitbart, after five “America First”
candidates he backed won their primary races in Wyoming and Alaska
Tuesday night.

Incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) lost her seat in the U.S. House of
Representatives on Aug. 16, without coming close to her Trump-endorsed
challenger, Harriet Hageman, who doubled Cheney’s votes to win the
Wyoming primary.

Trump had three other endorsements in Tuesday’s state races: Wyoming
State Rep. Chuck Gray, who secured the nomination for secretary of
state, and incumbent State Treasurer Curt Meier advancing in his
renomination bid, as well as Brian Schroeder, former head of Veritas
in Cody who lost his bid to maintain his position as state
superintendent.

In Alaska, both Trump-endorsed candidates—former Gov. Sarah Palin and
Kelly Tshibaka—advanced to general election races.

Tshibaka, along with Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who voted to
impeach Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol protest, advanced to the
ranked-choice election from the open primary on Aug. 16.
