Trump receives a huge boost in the polls after his conviction in trial for maintaining silence

Donald Trump is now 10 percent ahead of Joe Biden in a Rasmussen poll, a 5 percent jump from the same poll taken before his felony conviction.

Donald Trump gained a five-point rise in general election polls taken before his felony conviction in the hush money trial compared to after.

When Trump, Joe Biden and other third-party candidates were taken into account, the former president returned with a massive 10 percent lead over the incumbent president.

The jump is likely due to the results of the Manhattan trial, in which Trump became a convicted felon guilty of 34 counts for falsifying records related to his hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. .

In the June 20 Rasmussen Reports poll, 46 percent say they would vote for Trump, compared to 36 percent who say they would vote for Biden.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got 9 percent, Cornel West got 2 percent, Jill Stein got 1 percent, and the remaining 7 percent chose other candidates or were undecided.

Donald Trump is now 10 percent ahead of Joe Biden in a Rasmussen poll, a 5 percent jump from the same poll taken before his felony conviction.

The same poll conducted by Rasmussen from May 28 to 30 – before the jury verdict in Trump’s trial – showed the former president winning by 5 percent.

Forty-four percent of voters surveyed last month said they chose Trump compared to 39 percent who said they would vote for Biden if the election were held today.

In that poll, RFK Jr. got 8 percent, while West and Stein each got 1 percent.

While the latest results do not represent the largest margin of victory that Rasmussen shows for Biden, it was a huge jump from month to month.

This is largely attributed to Trump’s first trial.

Multiple polls showed Trump with a boost in polls and fundraising after the verdict was handed down in late May.

A post-verdict poll showed that 27 percent of voters were more likely to vote for Trump after the call.
