Donald Trump's Conviction Was Expected to Sink Him in the Polls. It Hasn't

Former President Donald Trump's chances of winning the 2024 election do not appear to have been significantly affected by the guilty verdict in his hush money trial, according to polls.

A New York City jury on May 30 found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to conceal hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, denied any wrongdoing. He claims the trial was "rigged" and the case an attempt to stop him from winning in November against President Joe Biden.
