More than half of voters in seven swing states would not support Donald Trump if he is convicted of a crime, according to a new survey.
A Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday showed Trump leading President Joe Biden in a number of swing states, but he loses support under the scenario that he's found guilty of one of the dozens of charges he's facing in multiple states.
According to the data, 53% of swing state voters would not support Trump in the general election if he's convicted of a crime. That number climbs slightly to 55% if he's sentenced to prison.
Bloomberg's poll was conducted among 4,956 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. It was conducted Jan. 16-22 (before the New Hampshire primary) and carries a margin of error of 1%.
In the same closely-watched battleground states, Trump gained some momentum against Biden — if he's not convicted.
