Scarborough suggests that post-conviction polls may indicate Trump’s potential loss in key battleground states
Joe Scarborough of MSNBC commented that recent polls following Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records suggest potential electoral setbacks for the former president in key battleground states. As of the last update in my training data, Joe Scarborough has not specifically commented on the polling impacts of Donald Trump’s conviction. However, it’s plausible such comments could be related to general discussions about Trump’s legal issues and their potential influence on his political standing. In the real-world context, legal and media analysts often speculate about how legal challenges could sway public opinion and voter behavior in upcoming elections. These discussions typically consider various aspects such as voter perception of Trump’s credibility and how such convictions might impact his base and moderate voters, especially in crucial battleground states.
It’s important to note that actual statements, polls, and their interpretations can have nuanced implications in the political landscape, influencing perceptions and strategic decisions by parties and candidates. For the most accurate and current information, directly citing specific statements from Joe Scarborough or reviewing the latest from reliable news sources or direct MSNBC broadcasts would be necessary.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said Monday that polling released after the conviction of Donald Trump could signal defeats for the former president in battleground states.
Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records last month, and recent polling reported that 7% of Republicans and 21% of independents believe his conviction makes them less likely to support Trump in the election.
“We’re talking about a 50/50 race in Wisconsin, a 50/50 race in Michigan, a 50/50 race in Pennsylvania,” Scarborough told the crew of Morning Joe. “You know where I’m going.”

You just need numbers like that to swing the election.” pic.twitter.com/WmVAyV5noY

“If 7% of Republicans are less likely to vote for him because of the conviction and 21% of independents are less likely to vote for him because of the conviction, you don’t need a majority. You don’t need a plurality. You just need numbers like that to swing all three of those races and the election if, in fact, these numbers hold,” he said.

Along with heralding election doom in battleground states, Scarborough criticized anyone harboring the belief that Trump’s conviction was the product of President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.
“I can’t understand how people can be so ill informed or so biased that they would be pushed off to think that a jury of 12 jurors in a New York state case … that somehow this conviction was mastered by Joe Biden,” he said. “They’re just not trying very hard to not be stupid.”
