How Trump’s conviction will — and won’t — impact his 2024 chances

LA Times  

Former President Trump leaves the courthouse after a jury found him guilty of all 34 felony counts in his criminal trial. In the weeks leading up to Trump’s New York trial, a lot of polls asked voters how they would respond if Trump were convicted. They suggest that a conviction will cause Trump to lose some support — maybe enough to matter in a close race — but that voters don’t necessarily switch over to siding with Biden. Low-information voters matter a lot Trump’s conviction probably won’t change very many minds among people who regularly watch MSNBC, Fox or CNN. For now, however, Trump’s conviction should set a new baseline that will prevail until the next major event — the scheduled June 27 debate on CNN.
