I am very surprised that this, of all things, is what led to an indictment. But I'll take it.

America is as hyper partisan as ever.  No swing vote is going to look at this and say “Wow I just HAVE to vote for Trump now!”

 

It’s more realistic that the # of votes in 2024 drops from the amount in 2020 because of how much both candidates suck

Just completely out of touch with reality :deadbanana4:

Yeah, I’m sure he’s gained so much support from this from out of the 81 million people who voted against him.

I get having an emotional reaction and wanting to be able to celebrate bad people getting some - or at least we hope - justice brought against them, but recent polls across the board have Biden and Trump neck-and-neck.

 

The NPR - not Fox - poll you quoted wasn't an election poll, but a general poll about Americans' views on Trump.

It may feel good to know 61% of Americans don't want Trump re-elected, but then it must be a cause for concern if Democrats' failures lead people who'd want to stop Trump to just not turn out to vote.

 

Which is why a recent Fox poll - which shows Trump currently winning the primary +30 - has these match-up:

38% - Biden

38% - Trump

20% - Someone Else

4 - No Vote

 

These results show across the board In other new polls.
Aggregators have them at 43% Biden vs 43% Trump vs 14% Someone Else.

This would be exciting if it was actually happening. 

 

However, I can't wait for the witch hunt that's about to start since every former US president should be rotting in jail. 

a dream, literally a DREAM :alexz3:

 

OT: fat and OVER

You mean the 2020 election where the vote margin was lower than 2016? :ahh:It's literally just happened. Let's see how it will play out.

Frankly, I don't understand people looking at this and just reducing it to being a political benefit to Trump. His core base is already beyond activated and excited to vote for him anyway. The number of independents that switch to his side in response to this is very likely extremely marginal. Is that to say Trump has no shot to win in 2024? No. But he always had a shot anyway.

 

Trying to read the political tea leaves from this too much just reminds me of the people that swore up and down that Trump getting COVID was some mastermind strategy to bolster support to ultimately win the election only for him to lose it.

 

There's a long way to go before the 2024 election. There are going to be countless events that have more impact on the political mood of the country between now and then.

Agree 100% with this.

I get the points being made that this might help him in some very populist corners of the country, but it's very speculative. We are so far out it's hard to say.

 

I could be equally speculative and argue that this might hurt him a lot with voters that aren't that politically tuned in. Criminally indicted? It's just a very bad look. Look how much the Comey investigation hurt Hillary. But also I don't really know. Bottom line is Trump has committed many crimes and I'm glad he's going to be held accountable for once.

Turnout was down in 2022 and democrats gained in state legislatures, governor mansions, AG and SOS offices, and senate seats….

 

All I said was: this likely didn’t help him with swing voters. All I said
