CNN’s Chalian: 76% of Trump Supporters Say They’ll Still Back Him If He’s Convicted of a Crime

EXCERPT:

CHALIAN: “Well, I would just say here, we asked if indeed Trump is convicted of a crime, of any crime, not just in this hush money trial, would you still support him? So we asked this of Trump supporters. 76 percent, three quarters of Trump supporters in this poll, they’re sticking with him even if he’s a convicted criminal. 24 percent of Trump supporters in this poll say if he’s convicted, Wolf, they might reconsider. But I want to show you the difference in these Trump supporters, those that might reconsider versus those that are with him no matter what. Those that are with him no matter what, that’s the Trump base as you know it to be. Those that might reconsider, that 24 percent, they’re younger, half of them are people of color. Two thirds of them say Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election. They’re moderates. They’re independents. These are the softer Trump supporters. These are exactly the kinds of voters Joe Biden’s looking to strengthen his support with as part of his coalition. And they’re the ones that say if he’s convicted, they might reconsider their support.”
