72% of Republicans approve of Trump pardoning family members before leaving office: Poll

Nearly three-fourths of Republican voters said they somewhat or strongly approve of President Trump preemptively pardoning his family members before he leaves office in January, according to a national poll. 

Seventy-two percent of GOP voters approved of the potential move, the Hill-HarrisX surveyfound. Of those, 39% strongly approved and 33% somewhat approved. Just 28% of Republicans said they would not approve of familial pardons. 

The results were essentially swapped when Democrats were asked the same question. Seventy-seven percent of Democratic voters said they disapproved of the potential pardons, while just 23% expressed approval.
