In an exclusive snap poll conducted by the Daily Mail, former President Donald Trump’s approval rating has seen a remarkable six-point bump following his guilty verdict on 34 counts in the Manhattan hush money trial. The poll, which surveyed 403 likely voters, revealed that 22% now view Trump more favorably, compared to 16% who view him more negatively. Independents, a crucial voting bloc, showed a net positive impact of four points. Trump’s campaign also reported a record-breaking $34.8 million raised from small-dollar donors in the hours following the verdict, nearly doubling their previous daily record and crashing their donation platform. As Trump becomes the first presumptive party nominee to face a felony conviction and potential prison time, the nation enters uncharted territory. Despite the guilty verdict, Trump’s resilience and ability to maintain support among his base and independents have been dubbed the “Teflon Don” effect. As the 2024 election approaches, the impact of this verdict on Trump’s campaign and the political landscape remains to be seen.
