Correlation is not always causation. I agree that to some extent, the indictments have made R voters dig in and support him. But at the same time, DeSantis has imploded all on his own. He’s a terrible candidate and everyone sees that now.
My view is that Trump’s support is not solid at all, even though he’s the runaway leader. Most voters still aren’t paying attention and that 64% number that won’t or probably won’t vote for him in the general says a lot.
One of these trials will have ended in a conviction by Nov 24 and most voters aren’t going to vote for the guy already convicted and facing more. So much more is going to happen in the next 12 months. Trump will likely be the nominee, but he won’t get more votes than in 20.
