This is the first poll taken after the conviction, and has us at 41% Biden/39% Trump
Actual voting preferences differ only slightly from one the same pollster took in early May, which had us at 35% Biden/36% Trump.
Having a solid sense of how the conviction will impact things will likely take a week or so as news percolates and people talk.
I’ll also note that these to polls are polls of adults, which tend to favor Trump by a little bit more than polls of registered voters or of likely voters.

What’s their other option? They’ve put all their eggs into one basket and now have given him full control of the RNC so there’s no chance for someone else to get in. Even if they dislike him, they’ll still go to the polls for the down ballots and probably mark the straight ticket box if they have one. There’s no way for them to save face. If they could find one testicle among them, they’d ditch him and throw Nikki back up. She would likely win and maybe be less bad than Trump - i don’t think she’d try to stay in office forever. Best case now, she gets 25% write-in red vote and Biden wins big, but that seems unlikely.
Not voting, really.
Which is what this election is going to come down to- which candidate pissed off their base the least.
So far, Biden is losing that one. To be fair… trumps base are…. Special…
