>. . *Trump’s support in the crowded primary actually increased by 5 percentage points when Republicans were shown a 60-second TV ad launched by former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney that criticizes the former president for inciting the mob that sacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 after he refused to accept that he lost reelection. The survey, conducted online, asked the 500 likely Republican voters to rate how strongly they were considering supporting Trump on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the strongest level of support. The percentage of Republicans who said they would definitely consider Trump – those who rated their consideration of Trump at 10 – rose by 8 points after seeing the ad. A Cheney spokesperson did not return messages for comment. . . .
