Tectonic shift away from Donald Trump
Independent voters are the pot of shining gold at the end of the rainbow; they’re that elusive group in which many an election has been decided. And right now, right at this very second, independent voters are rejecting Donald Trump.
Politico and Ipsos, in a joint effort, conducted a survey to gauge the impact of Trump’s multiple convictions (I do love writing those words) on the election. The results were not just significant, but they revealed a seismic shift in how these voters perceive the convicted felon.
The verdict is in — and it’s not good news — for Donald Trump. An eye-popping 21 percent of the surveyed voters have expressed that Trump’s convictions have not just diminished, but significantly eroded, their support for him, marking a tectonic shift in the Presidential political landscape.
In an election as close as this everything matters. So a five percent shift is significant. A ten percent shift is significant. A 21 percent shift is akin to a political earthquake.
Politico’s warning to Trump is clear: he should be deeply concerned. This 21 percent said these convictions would be “a very important factor” as to who gets their vote. Now, polls like this are mere snap shots in time. But this result shows that contrary to MANY a pundit’s narrative, these convictions have made a big difference in how the American people see Donald Trump.
