Impact of Trump's Verdict on Polls
Following the verdict on former President Trump's 34 criminal charges, national polls showed varied responses from Republican voters. While a majority of Republicans remained supportive of Trump, there was a notable 10% decrease in likelihood to vote for him in a Reuters-Ipsos poll. Additionally, about 7% of previous Trump supporters were backing Biden or undecided in the New York Times-Siena College poll. These shifts indicate potential implications for upcoming elections.
