Poll: Trump could be in big trouble for 2024 if convicted of crimes

So far, the fact that former President Donald Trump has been criminally indicted four times this year has done little to dent his support among Republican voters.

But what if he’s eventually convicted?

A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll has found that in that scenario, even some current Trump supporters could start to have second thoughts about casting their ballots for him in 2024.

I doubt hair fuerhair will skate on all of them, especially in the military secrets obstructions. POTUS can't declassify them alone by law and it's clear he stashed them somewhere (in his desk) outside of any SCIF.

I know NYC has done so. But this time in Georgia it would take only one juror to hang the case.

and most of these polls aren't really asking the right people. I am down to zero neighbors I know of who were Trumpies in 2016 or 2020 that are even considering voting for him now.
