Wouldn't it be nice if there was a chance of getting in another conviction from a completely separate trial before November? I think that would be the nail in the coffin for all those who are still on the fence and would likely be a significant swing in how the current polls are going. Then again I'm still wondering how anyone who isn't at least a multimillionaire would even consider voting for a guy who keeps saying that poor people are too stupid to be anything except poor.

I think you misunderstand… the majority of people think he did what he did and is a felon.

The polls asking undecided voters how this affects their vote:

8% said it decided them against voting for Trump
17% said it decided them FOR voting for Trump
The rest didn’t care one way or the other.

Another conviction before the election probably won’t make a difference.

Are we reading the same article? I don't see those numbers, I see:

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between Thursday and Friday found that 5% of Republicans and 2% of independents said they are much less likely to vote for Trump because of the jury's ruling. Meanwhile, 30% of Republicans and 13% of independents said the verdict made them much more likely to vote for Trump.
