Donald Trump is out on bail in four jurisdictions facing dozens of felony charges and it does not seem to affect his ratings in the surveys. Many people wonder why.
First of all, let me assure you that Donald Trump is not made of Teflon. Rather, he is probably the most polarizing politician on earth right now. While he does have a very enthusiastic base, a majority of Americans in almost every poll have an unfavorable opinion about him. So it’s not that the various attacks, scandals, allegations, and bad press he has faced ever since he has entered politics have not affected his ratings. They have. Remember that even on the day when he won the presidential election back in 2016, he was the most negatively seen winning presidential candidate in history.
With respect to his current legal problems, I’m of course not saying that they are no big deal or just technicalities if they were to be judged as true by the courts. I am, however, saying that so far it’s nothing that comes as a shock to voters. By and large, the things Donald Trump is accused of are all factored in by the electorate in their own judgment of Donald Trump.
Let me explain.
Quite a number of voters probably think it’s possible that Trump may indeed have had an affair with Stormy Daniels. Whether the payments can be tied to him beyond reasonable doubt remains to be seen.
