CNN’s top data analyst said this week that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office prosecution of former President Donald Trump has not changed voter’s minds of the former president.
Harry Enten reported that as the trial comes to an end that the percentage of voters who believe that Trump may have done something illegal has not changed, while the percentage of Americans who think the charges are serious actually dropped from 40% to 35%.
“Perhaps things might have changed with those 12 jurors, but when it comes to the larger American public, there has been no change, at least so far,” he explained.
When asked why nothing has changed, he said that Americans largely do not care about the case because they are worried about much bigger problems in their own lives.
“Well, folks like you and me, real news junkies might be paying really close attention to what is going on,” he said.
He said that more Americans are following the news about the economy and inflation, 65%, immigration, 52%, election legitimacy, 49%, and abortion, 47%, than they are about Trump’s court cases, which came in at 42%.
“When we are looking at these numbers, what we see is Americans’ minds aren’t changing and a big reason why Americans’ minds aren’t changing is at this particular point, they are tuned out of the conversation,” he said.
He added that Trump’s polling lead over Biden pre-trial, which CNN says was +1 point, remains the same as the trial comes to an end.

WATCH:
After all the testimony in Trump’s hush money case, the effect on the public has been zero. Voters simply just don’t care that much. They are far more tuned into news about inflation, immigration, etc. than Trump’s trials.
Unsurprisingly, Trump small lead over Biden is holding. pic.twitter.com/6AjCHy4doD
