According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted shortly after former President Trump’s guilty verdict on all counts was handed down, one in ten Republican registered voters say that they are less likely to vote for him due to the results of the trial.
No surprisingly, a significant group, 35 per cent, said it made them more likely to vote for him, and 56 per cent said it would have no impact on their decision, none of which means very much. What is important is that one in ten registered Republicans are now considering moving away from the former president.
There will be polls to consider the impact of the guilty verdict, but if this become a trend it could be problem for the GOP.
