Most voters say that Hillary Clinton should have been indicted over her mishandling of classified information when she was secretary of state, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll.

In the poll, voters said:

  • The FBI should have sought a criminal indictment: 53 percent;
  • The FBI made the right decision not to seek one: 39 percent.

A large portion of voters believe that Clinton’s issues with classified information are an important factor in whom they choose for president:

  • Very important: 49 percent;
  • Not important: 27 percent;
  • Not at all important: 9 percent.

Breaking down the results by party affiliation, Republicans and Democrats differ widely in their views on a possible indictment.

  • Clinton supporters who agree with no indictment: 85 percent;
  • Trump supporters who disagree: 92 percent;

When asked whether the indictment issue is important to their vote:

  • Trump supporters: 96 percent;
  • Clinton supporters: 37 percent.

The poll showed that men and voters over 40 were more likely to believe Clinton should have been indicted than women and younger voters.

Voters in a separate Rasmussen poll are closely split over which candidate they support.

  • Trump: 43 percent;
  • Clinton: 41 percent;
  • Libertarian Gary Johnson: 5 percent;
  • The Green Party’s Jill Stein: 3 percent;
  • Someone else: 3 percent;
  • Undecided: 5 percent.
