, ‘Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, was reported to have a slight lead over President Biden within the margin of error in a poll conducted on the outcome of the guilty verdict in the hush money scandal despite being convicted on all charges. The survey results were released on the 13th(local time). ‘,
, ‘Reuters and Ipsos conducted a survey of 903 registered voters nationwide over two days from the 10th, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points. The results showed that 41% of respondents would vote for former President Trump if an election were held that day, while President Biden received 39%. 20% of respondents had not decided on a candidate or whether to vote. ‘,
, ‘In particular, 61% of respondents stated that the guilty verdict on all 34 charges related to the hush money scandal did not affect their choice of candidate for former President Trump. Regarding Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, 80% of respondents stated that the guilty verdict on all charges related to illegal gun possession did not affect their choice of candidate. This suggests that the guilty verdict for former President Trump may have a greater impact on voting intentions than Hunter’s verdict. ‘,
, ‘The sentencing for former President Trump is scheduled for July, with a possibility of imprisonment depending on the outcome. While there is no set date for Hunter Biden’s sentencing yet, the local court plans to issue a verdict by around November 5, a month before the scheduled presidential election date. ‘,
