NYT desperately tries to find voters who think Trump's conviction matters
Conversations with nearly 2,000 voters showed a small number had changed their minds about Donald J. Trump. Here’s what a few said about why.
For years, Hexbearians have wondered - "Who is the type of guy who has supported Trump for years, but will refuse to do so a bad paperwork conviction?"
A New York Times/Siena College Poll study of nearly 2,000 voters found modest good news for Mr. Biden. While the vast majority of people had not changed their position on the two men, more voters moved away from Mr. Trump than toward him.
Follow-up interviews with these post-verdict switchers offer a window into the minds of still-persuadable Americans.
The best they can do -
-
A small business tyrant who's pro-choice and doesn't seem to have voted for Trump in the past (he may now go for RFK Jr.)
-
A tech guy who voted against Trump twice but is pissed at Biden for not forgiving student loans
-
Someone who "volunteers with people trying to rebuild their lives from addiction and prison sentences" and never would have voted for Trump in the first place (but may still vote for Biden despite the genocide)
-
An account executive who voted for Biden but "watched Mr. Biden perform the job as president and could not envision voting for him again."
