Polling Doesn't Look Good For Felon 45 Following Post-Guilty Verdict

Recent polling doesn't look good for convicted felon Trump’s prospects with Independents, and even a lot of Republicans, who are now less likely to vote for him since his conviction in New York if these numbers hold up. I haven't seen any of the cross-tabs behind these numbers, so I'll take all of them with a grain of salt for now, but Trump doesn't need to lose a huge percentage of voters in a few swing states to cost himself the election in November.

From YouGov: Snap poll: 50% of Americans approve of Trump's hush-money conviction:

Half of Americans agree with a Manhattan jury's verdict that Donald Trump was guilty of 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records to cover up an alleged affair with an adult film actress. Another 30% disagree, and 19% of Americans aren't sure, in a YouGov snap poll conducted hours after the verdict Thursday.

Americans' immediate reactions are polarized along party lines, with 86% of Democrats but just 15% of Republicans believing the former president is guilty of felony charges. Independents are nearly twice as likely to think he's guilty as to think he's not.
