A new survey from CBS/YouGov has found that Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in the Manhattan hush money trial has moved the dial slightly towards Biden but Trump’s conviction, “pales in comparison to issues like the economy, inflation, and the border — all items on which Trump maintains advantages.”
- CBS notes: “But what we do see is a few more Joe Biden voters activated out of opposition to Trump. His vote has become increasingly centered around anti-Trump sentiment, more so than affinity for Mr. Biden himself. Today, most of Mr. Biden's voters say their main rationale is opposing Trump, and that's up from March.”
- For more analysis of the implications of Trump's conviction, please see last week's edition of the MNI US Elections Weekly.
