28% : The court's order upheld a Michigan Court of Appeals ruling on the matter, saying that it was "not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court" and refusing to comment on whether Trump engaged in insurrection, or whether the insurrectionist ban applies to presidential candidates.
26% : "Trump led a rebellion and insurrection against the Constitution when he tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election and he is disqualified from ever seeking or holding public office again.
23% : This comes after the decision made on Dec. 19 in Colorado -- where justices ruled that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment does apply to presidential candidates and that Trump was ineligible for election because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, removing him from the primary ballot.
17% : Free Speech for the People, which has another lawsuit seeking to remove Trump from the ballot in Oregon, said the Michigan Supreme Court's decision has no impact on other efforts to disqualify Trump.
