For Donald J. Trump, a new set of New York Times/Siena College polls captures a stunning, seemingly contradictory picture.
His 91 felony charges in four different jurisdictions have not significantly hurt him among voters in battleground states. Yet he remains weaker than at least one of his Republican rivals, and if he’s convicted and sentenced in any of his cases, some voters appear ready to turn on him — to the point where he could lose the 2024 election.
Snip----------------
If the former president is convicted and sentenced — as many of his allies expect him to be in the Jan. 6-related trial held next year in Washington, D.C. — around 6 percent of voters across Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin say they would switch their votes to Mr. Biden. That would be enough, potentially, to decide the election.
My belief is they're trusting in a will-o'-the-wisp, false hope of what people really want.
If you read the article, you'll see why people don't want Biden, despite what the try to do to the Donald.
Tthey are wrong, people will vote for him in droves even larger had they not gone after him in the first place.
If anything, it would simply affirm the suspicion many normies have that the government is becoming tyrannical.
A conviction will give Trump a BIG increase
The deep state, like all of their political schemes in Ukraine, in Covid, in everything - has failed again.
Many are already convinced multi-tiered & unequal legal system. The longer this is played out as manipulation.
In this scenario, every single asset of DoJ has been laid on the line to convict at whatever ‘price’ is necessary. If they fail, and Trump is elected...DoJ/FBI/CIA falls into a massive spiral.
Don't you Lefties wish. An unjust, unconstitutional conviction of President Trump would steel his support.
Might even incite some kind of civil war hopefully to reinstate the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land and dismantle the 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds. Wouldn't that be nice.
Fake cases in a fake court leads to fake convictions. This is just like Stalin.
They just keep on dreaming. 😆

First, that doesn’t make any sense.
Second, if they convict and sentence Trump based on the “evidence” that we have seen, the boogaloo is likely to begin. I know they THINK that is what they want, but our side doesn’t pull down statues and loot liquor stores when it rises up.
A conviction would really up his street cred. Could Trump govern from jail?
I don’t think they care if people come out in droves. They know they have the capacity for another fraudulent election. A conviction is simply the excuse they need to pretend otherwise (i.e., “of COURSE he lost, he’s a convicted criminal!”). The media will swoon. Watch and see.
Unfortunately for Trump's Democrat opponents who were hoping these trials would sink him, these trials only underscored how the Deep State (particularly the judiciary) has been weaponized by the Democrats...and this will increase his support.
Are you making excuses for yourself to not vote?
I think the Supreme Court would have to step in, but I don’t think that will happen.
I still believe good defeats evil. Have faith.
Not at all. Do you disagree that the capacity (and intent) for another fraudulent election exists?
I agree. That line is total nonsense.
LOL, he is a “Don”, and Mafia Dons can govern from jail...
These people are just ideologically pleasuring themselves. Shameful.
