'That Would Be the End of His Candidacy': Ex-GOP Congressman Cites Troubling Polling Data Point for Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : On Tuesday, MSNBC host Richard Lui noted a Wall Street Journal poll released this month showing Trump ahead of Biden by four points.
41% : "Trump has the loyalty of millions of voters, but these polls indicate it's not that simple," Lui said.
40% : Interestingly enough, that poll, it showed about a third of Republican voters would be very uncomfortable - perhaps walking away from Trump - in the event he is convicted.
28% : Trump has been indicted in four jurisdictions - two of which stem from his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
24% : While Donald Trump maintains a hammerlock on Republican support for the party's nomination and is running close to President Joe Biden, former Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) noted there's a giant warning sign for the former president.
21% : "Of course," Dent replied before pointing to data in the poll showing that one-third of Republicans believe Trump should not be the nominee if he is convicted:And while right now, Trump seems to be energized by the fact that he's indicted, you know, back down here on planet Earth where people dwell, indictments for candidates usually spell political death.
12% : However, the survey also showed that if Trump is convicted before the election, the numbers swing in Biden's favor by one point, which is still within the poll's margin of error.
