Half of American voters want Hillary Clinton to keep up her campaign for president even if she faces an indictment charging her with federal crimes in connection with her email scandal, a new poll reveals.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows 43 percent of likely voters want Clinton to immediately stop campaigning if she gets indicted, compared to 50 percent who say she should keep running until a court rules on her guilt or innocence.

The question specifically asked voters how they would respond 'if Hillary Clinton is charged with a felony in connection with the e-mail investigation.'

Voters were split evenly on the issue when the same poll asked the question in January.

Democrats were most insistent that Clinton keep up her campaign, with 71 per cent saying Clinton should keep running.

Among Republicans, 30 percent said she should keep running, while 46 percent of unaffiliated voters said the same.

Last August, 46 percent of voters said Clinton should suspend her campaign if indicted.

Close to half of voters, 48 percent, said the email issue will have no impact on their vote. Forty percent said it would make them less likely to vote for Clinton, while 8 percent of voters said the issue makes them more likely to vote for her.

Just 30 percent of voters say Clinton has done a good job of answering questions about her private email server, compared to 49 percent who give her poor performance marks.

Her own campaign chairman, John Podesta, wrote supporters over the weekend to acknowledge Clinton made a 'mistake.'

“The secretary has once again acknowledged this was a mistake,” Podesta wrote. “If she could go back, she’d do it differently.”

As for whether Clinton broke the law, 65 percent said it was likely Clinton illegally sent or receieved emails containing classified information while she was secretary of state. Of that amount, 47 percent said it was 'very likely' she did so.

Last week, State's inspector general issued a report that said Clinton violated federal record keeping rules by failing to preserve and hand over emails when she left the agency.

If federal prosecutors decide to issue an indictment, it could come at any time, though any resulting trial could drag on for months.

Dan Metcalfe, a Democratic law professor who used to run the Justice Department's office of information and privacy, wrote over the weekend that “given that the facts and law are so clear in Ms. Clinton’s case, it is difficult to imagine [Clinton] not being indicted.”
