Poll: Voters approve of Trump conviction, half of indies want him to drop out
The punditry, propelled by a thousand conservative gaslighters, want you to believe that Donald Trump’s felony conviction is good for his campaign. According to them, the conviction is energizing Trump supporters and helping him raise money.
The latter point might or might not be true, but does anyone think that Trump supporters need to be “energized”? That’s not who will decide the election. His rabid 20-30% of dead-enders will vote no matter what. This election will be decided on the margins, and that’s where Trump’s felony conviction comes in. The key question is, will the conviction bring out Trump voters that otherwise would’ve stayed home (or voted for President Joe Biden), or does it suppress his potential supporters.
