With the end of Donald Trump's criminal trial in sight, a pending verdict in the historic case could have serious consequences in the 2024 election rematch between the former president and President Biden. Trump holds the slight edge right now both in national polling and in public opinion surveys in most of the crucial battleground states that will likely decide the election.
Both Cohen and Daniels testified for the prosecution and were grilled by Trump's attorneys during cross-examination in a case that's grabbed tons of attention on the cable news networks, online and on social media.
Anderson, a member of the Fox News Election Decision Team and the Democratic partner on the Fox News Poll, compared a potential guilty verdict to the infamous video that briefly damaged Trump's chances of winning the 2016 presidential election. 'We might see an ‘Access Hollywood’ type slump in Trump’s poll numbers, where some of his less devoted supporters sour on him temporarily, but then by November it will seem forgivable,' Anderson said.
