Democrats are not getting what they want from the Manhattan trial of former President Donald Trump regarding alleged hush money payments made to adult movie star Stormy Daniels.

The case, which was brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, appears to be working in the former president’s favor in the polls.

Harry Enten, the senior data analyst for CNN, said that the number of people who believe the former president did something that was against the law has stayed the same but the percentage of people who believe the charges are serious went 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,” the analyst explained.

He said that normal American people are not concerned with the trial as they have issues in their own lives that take their attention.

“Well, folks like you and me, real news junkies might be paying really close attention to what is going on,” the analyst said.

He said that said that the polls show American voters are focused on issues like the economy and inflation which came in as the top concern for voters at 65%, followed by immigration which registered at 52%, election legitimacy which came in at 49%, and abortion which was at 47%.

The former president’s court cases, which include the Manhattan case and the case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith regarding classified documents, came in at 42 percent.

“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.

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.
