It’s been a week since a court in Manhattan found former President Trump guilty of 34 crimes, and he still leads in the polls.
…like the good dogs they are, spent a week repeating the “convicted felon” talking point like it was a mantra, a prayer. And to them, it is a prayer to their ideal of a Big Government that promises to micromanage our lives into something conformist and miserable while they prance about pretending to have earned a place in the aristocracy.
Except…
In the RealClearPolitics poll of national polls, Trump’s lead has increased slightly over Joe Biden. On May 30, Trump led Biden by 0.9 points. Today, after the release of four post-conviction polls, Trump leads by 1.1 points.
Granted, 0.2 points in movement is not much; hardly worth mentioning. But you know that 0.2 is making leftists all over the country nervous, so let’s go ahead and mention it.
Reuters shows Biden at +2, 39 to 41 percent. Its previous poll showed a tie, but its previous two polls had Biden up two and four points, respectively.
Trump actually improved his position in the Forbes poll. What had been a tie now shows Trump leading by +2, 51-49 percent.
Two polls taken entirely after the conviction show Trump leading Biden by a single point: Emerson and Morning Consult.
We have a long way to go. As these events settle into voters’ minds, things could change. But what his opponents had hoped for has not happened… There has been no poll collapse for Trump.
