    The biggest takeaway from this poll is that only 15% of Republicans believe in objective reality.

    I’m laughing at my ass off in all those conservative spaces going, “What’s a bit of felony?” And “All this for paying off a porn star?”

    Like whatever stupid narrative you wanna make, the reality is clear… Diaper Don is a felon.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a chance of getting in another conviction from a completely separate trial before November? I think that would be the nail in the coffin for all those who are still on the fence and would likely be a significant swing in how the current polls are going. Then again I’m still wondering how anyone who isn’t at least a multimillionaire would even consider voting for a guy who keeps saying that poor people are too stupid to be anything except poor.

      I think you misunderstand… the majority of people think he did what he did and is a felon.

      The polls asking undecided voters how this affects their vote:

      • 8% said it decided them against voting for Trump
      • 17% said it decided them FOR voting for Trump
      • The rest didn’t care one way or the other.

      Another conviction before the election probably won’t make a difference.

        Are we reading the same article? I don’t see those numbers, I see:

        A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between Thursday and Friday found that 5% of Republicans and 2% of independents said they are much less likely to vote for Trump because of the jury’s ruling. Meanwhile, 30% of Republicans and 13% of independents said the verdict made them much more likely to vote for Trump.

    Polls are funny.

    87 percent of Trump supporters don’t want him to end his campaign while 8 percent do.

    So, there are people saying “Yeah, I support him, but I think he should drop out.”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former President Donald Trump has suffered losses in three separate polls in the 48 hours since his guilty verdict in his Manhattan criminal trial.

    A New York jury on Thursday found Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels by Trump’s then-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen shortly before the 2016 presidential election.

    The poll surveyed 2,220 registered voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

    Meanwhile, Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign communications director, told Newsweek via email on Saturday, “President Trump has seen an outpouring support, which has led to polling increases and record-shattering fundraising numbers that include close to $53 million in just 24 hours, 30% of those who are new donors.”

    Partners poll taken after Thursday’s verdict, which found that Trump’s approval rating was up by 6 percentage points compared to those who disapproved.

    The poll surveyed 403 likely voters from Thursday to Friday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.
