Obviously, Alvin Bragg’s World Famous Circus and Sideshow gave Trump a boost in campaign donations and popularity. It has been noted that many have swung to the Trump camp over the patently ridiculous judicial sketch that is well on its way to becoming the 21st-century version of Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” routine.
While the surge in conservative popularity was predictable, there has also been a loss of support for Biden among non-whites. In this case, “non-black” minorities. One may assume that the term refers to Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Asians, people of Middle Eastern Heritage, and those who hail from or have roots in the Indian subcontinent. But who knows? This is a country where white people can magically become black because they feel that way. And where white women can become Native Americans based on family stories, sympathy, or a few percentage points in their genetic profile. So we’ll just call these people “non-black minorities” and leave it at that. Otherwise, I’ll be typing all day.
Rasmussen Reports conducted a two-part national poll of 971 likely voters beginning March 30, which corresponded to the day of Trump’s indictment, and ending the day that he was arraigned. The question? “If the 2024 presidential election were between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, who would you vote for?” According to a report by CNS News, Trump out-polled Biden, 47% to 40%. By contrast in February, Biden led Trump by 45%-42%.
