It feels surreal to be here. More than three years after he begrudgingly left office, after numerous investigations into his behavior and after more than a month in a New York City courtroom, former President Donald Trump will soon reach the end of a criminal trial. All that’s left are summations from the prosecution and defense, and then 12 New Yorkers will be given their instructions and sent to make one of the most monumental decisions in the history of our country.
None of the polls above asked voters how an acquittal would affect their support for the former president, something that remains a possibility. Also, there’s no guarantee that the number of people who would change their vote would be enough to shift the election’s outcome in any given state.
