Former President Donald Trump’s felony convictions in New York did not hurt his numbers in Tennessee.
In fact, Trump’s 34 felony convictions for falsifying documents made 34% of Tennesseans more likely to vote for him while just 22% said it made them less likely to vote for him, according to a new Beacon Center poll of 1,200 in the state.
The poll showed Trump holds a 30-point lead over President Joe Biden and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the state.
“The numbers on Trump’s guilty conviction are fascinating and, in some ways, counterintuitive,” said Beacon Center Vice President of Communications and Outreach Mark Cunningham. “A substantial percentage of Tennesseans believe that the charges were political but also believe he did commit a felony.
