President Joe Biden’s historically low polling numbers would not receive a boost if former President Donald Trump is potentially found guilty in any legal case against him, a poll shows.
The poll also indicates a small percentage of Trump’s current support would move to the undecided column should a Manhattan jury convict him.
A potential conviction would not greatly hurt or help Biden, a Leger poll reported by the New York Post shows:
- Biden’s current support: 45 percent
- Biden’s support upon conviction and imprisonment: 45 percent
- Biden’s support upon only conviction: 44 percent
- Biden’s support if Trump found innocent: 44 percent
The poll found that Trump’s support would shift to undecided (not Biden) upon a potential conviction:
- Trump’s current support: 46 percent
- Trump’s support upon conviction and imprisonment: 37 percent
- Trump support upon only conviction: 39 percent
- Biden’s support if Trump found innocent: 46 percent
The poll sampled 1,008 adults from April 26-28 with a 3.09 point margin of error.
Increasing numbers of Americans see the criminal trial of Trump as irrelevant to his fitness for reelection, a CNN poll found Friday, and only 13 percent believe Trump is being treated the same as other “criminal defendants.”
“They have no case, and we have a very conflicted judge, unfortunately,” Trump told reporters Thursday. “There is no case, and it should have never been brought.”
A majority of Americans doubt Trump’s criminal trial will conclude with a fair outcome, the CNN poll found. Only about one-third of American adults believe Trump did anything illegal regarding the case, an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll showed.
