50% Say Clinton Should Keep Running Even If Indicted

Most continue to believe likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is a lawbreaker, but half of all voters also say a felony indictment shouldn’t stop her campaign for the presidency.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 43% of Likely U.S. Voters think Clinton should immediately stop campaigning if she is charged with a felony in connection with her use of a private e-mail server while secretary of State. Fifty percent (50%), however, think she should continue running until a court determines her guilt or innocence. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Voters were evenly divided on this question in January, but at that time we didn’t include the name of any candidate.

Among Democratic voters, 71% believe Clinton should keep running, a view shared by only 30% of Republicans and 46% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

If this survey is accurate, we're definitely headed for hell in a hand basket.

I believe she would have to step away from the election. Not fair to jeopardize the election.

the people have voted and indicated who the second choice should be, and if not for election fraud would be the first choice. There is more to this election than Clinton investigations.

Given all the advancements in information technology, surely Hillary can run her fundraising scam, err, I mean the executive branch, from the Big House.

No big deal folks...
