Trump's Conviction Fails to Dent his Support, Shows Post-Trial Polls
In a surprising turn of events, polls conducted immediately after Donald Trump's conviction reveal that his support remains unaffected, with a slight increase in favorability, particularly among independent voters.
Trump's Conviction and its Impact
Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts in a high-profile political trial. The Democrats had hoped that this would negatively affect his presidential prospects. However, the outcome seems to be contrary to their expectations.
A poll carried out by J.L. Partners for the Daily Mail found that 22% of the respondents had a more positive view of Trump following the conviction, compared to 16% who had a more negative view. This implies that the conviction has unexpectedly given Trump a 6 percentage point approval boost.
Independent Voters' Perception
Among independent voters, who are a significant voting group, 20% feel more positive about Trump compared to 16% who feel more negative. The Daily Mail reports that these independent voters largely do not believe that the hush-money case was initiated with the correct motives or that Trump's actions were troubling enough to warrant the charges.
Support from Trump's Base
Among Trump's MAGA supporter base, 54% stated that the ruling had no impact on their support. The guilty verdict solidified the support of 36% of Trump's 2020 voters, while only 6% felt more negative about him.
A separate poll by CBS News also found that the conviction had not significantly altered views about Trump.
Future Trials and their Potential Impact
It is yet to be seen whether the upcoming trials against Trump, which pertain to alleged crimes other than payoffs to porn stars, will yield different results. However, the current reaction is unlikely to please the Democrats.
