A new Hill-HarrisX poll, reveals that a majority of Republican voters would likely join a new political party created by former President Donald Trump.

The Jan. 28 survey was conducted among 945 registered voters, 340 of which self-identified as Republicans.

64% of registered GOP voters said they’d join a new political party led by former President Donald Trump and 32% said they would very likely join.

The results found that 64% of registered GOP voters said they’d join a new political party led by the former president and 32% said they would very likely join.

While 36% of GOP voters said they are either very or somewhat unlikely to join.

28% of independents and 15% of Democrats said they’d likely join a third party led by Trump.

37% of voters overall said if Trump created a new political party they’d likely join.

Last month, Trump discussed starting a new political party called the “Patriot Party” following his exit from the White House.

“These numbers show that despite the Capitol riots Trump remains a political force to be reckoned with. He benefits from a diverse base of support making up over a third of voters, voters who are attracted to him on a number of issues that are yet to be properly addressed by, and coopted by, Democratic and Republican elites,” Dritan Nesho, CEO and chief pollster at HarrisX, told The Hill.

“If Trump were to split from the GOP and create his own party, polling suggests he might well create the second largest political party in the country, knocking the GOP down to third place,” said Nesho.

Google Street View Catches Murder Suspect Loading Body Into Car

An image taken by Google Street View cameras showing a man loading a wrapped body into the trunk of his car in Tajueca, Spain may help solve a murder case. The Telegraph reports after Google published the image, the police renewed their investigation into a case involving the disappearance of a Cuban man.

A male torso was found in a nearby cemetery, confirmed to be that of the missing man who was named only by his initials, JPLO. The Street View images of the white bundle being loaded into the trunk of a maroon vehicle were published one year after the man was reported missing from his home in the Spanish city of Soria.

A cousin of the victim reported him missing in November 2023 after receiving odd text messages saying that he was leaving the country after meeting a woman and would no longer be using the same mobile phone number. The cousin said that he suspected the messages were not written by his missing relative because they were completely “out of character.”

The suspect, Manuel Isla Gallardo, is known in the small town as “The Wolf” and was arrested following the camera’s discovery along with his former partner.

According to The Telegraph, local media reported that it appears the three involved were part of a love triangle. The victim reportedly visited the area to find his former partner and upon doing so learned that she was in a relationship with another man. The exact relationship between the victim and the two suspects is still being investigated.

Locals who spoke to the local newspaper, El Pais, said the suspect recently lost his job running a bar and seemed “distracted.”

A judge ordered details of the case not to be released, but Spain’s National Police force revealed the information anyway, including the role Google Street View played in the investigation. Police are still trying to put pieces of the case together including identifying when the victim was killed and locating other body parts.
