Data from a survey conducted by WPA Intelligence indicates that if Donald Trump is convicted for any of the four accusations of serious crimes against him, he will also end up being defeated by Joe Biden on next year’s ballot.
Apparently, The bad reputation that would arise around the 77-year-old millionaire would boost the re-election of the Democrats in the White House, Because in the elections to define the president they would obtain 45% of the citizens’ support compared to 39% of the Republicans.
Trump’s legal problems arise from a federal indictment for allegedly having removed classified documents from the White House that compromised national security.
The former president is also charged having paid a large sum of money to a porn actress to keep her silent about a relationship they had.
Another crime consists of having attempted to annul the results of the presidential elections held in Georgiain 2020.
As if this were not enough, he is also responsible for having incited a group of people to attack the Capitol in 2021.
However, In the event that Trump is acquitted by the courts, the poll continues to place him as a loser in the votess, but by a very tight margin with respect to Biden who would prevail with 43% compared to 41% leaning towards the Republican, but with 11% of voters still undecided about who to support.
The exercise that measures the opinion of citizens registered on the electoral roll also shows that, If Trump’s alleged guilt is proven, nearly 6% of Republicans would choose not to vote in the electionswhich would doubly favor the Democrats as independent voters would join their cause.
In this regard, Amanda Lovino, director of the WPA, issued a statement emphasizing how disastrous it could be for the Republicans to have a person convicted by justice as a candidate.
“If a jury were to convict him in any of the four pending cases, it could send shock waves through the Republican Party. and in the Trump campaign, and a significant faction of Republican voters would indicate that they could abstain from the 2024 election altogether. This would not only give Biden another four years, but could also cost Republicans the House and put in jeopardizes progress in the Senate,” the letter states.
