The ABC News poll also uncovered notable support for Trump among racial and ethnic minority groups. The percentage of Black and Hispanic respondents who expressed willingness to vote for Trump or lean in that direction demonstrated an increase compared to the 2020 election.

While acknowledging concerns about Trump's rhetoric and past comments, these individuals believed that he was enacting policies that aligned with their views on immigration and law enforcement. They saw his tough stance as a means to ensure legal immigration while expressing disapproval for criminal activity.

"What he says about some being criminals and x, y and z, it sounds a little harsh. And me, coming from a Hispanic background, I find it harsh," said 32-year-old Philadelphia resident Kayla Gonzalez. "But I find that he's doing the correct thing. I think they should try to come here legally."

"The man's been a millionaire all his life, he's used to a certain standard. So, it's kind of hard to understand what a person that's on the bottom is going through when you're always on the top," added Tommy Miller, a Black truck driver from Georgia who lamented the past rise in gas prices. "I like the man ... because he did a lot of good things."

The enduring support for Donald Trump, despite his personal controversies and legal challenges, is a complex phenomenon that cannot be attributed to a single factor. A significant portion of Trump's supporters prioritise his perceived policy successes, especially in terms of the economy.

Economic concerns, dissatisfaction with current policies, and an affinity for Trump's approach to foreign affairs also play a role in sustaining support!
