Voters ‘Disgusted, Tired’ With Trump Trial: CNN Correspondent

A CNN analyst said that voters have had it with the Manhattan trial of former President Donald Trump and it is backfiring on Democrats.

CNN chief national affairs correspondent Jeff Zeleny said on Monday that voters he has spoken with are bored with the trial and do not care about it.

And the polls show it as the most recent New York Times / Siena College poll on Monday showed the former president ahead of President Joe Biden in key battleground states including 13% in Nevada, 9% in Georgia, 6% in Arizona, 3% in Pennsylvania and 1% in Wisconsin.

“This is a reminder … that we have no idea at all, the political fallout from this, if there is any, from this trial,” he said. “It’s kind of remarkable to think that there wouldn’t be, but if you look at these battleground states that are going to be central to this reelection, the former president is beating the current president outside the margin of error in every state but two, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.”

“We will have to wait and see what this verdict is and how voters are assessing it,” he said. “But as I talk to voters across the country in these battleground states … many of them aren’t paying attention at all and are disgusted and sort of tired with this, but the numbers beyond the horse race are so interesting. The reason that President Biden is having problems, it’s because of young voters, voters of color, inflation. That is the issue on the minds of voters, not this.”

“So it’s still the economy, stupid?” host Wolf Blitzer said, referring to a quote from famed Democrat operative James Carville.

“It seems to be. Inflation really is at the heart of so much of this,” the national affairs correspondent said.

“We’ll see how much this is going to play a part. But as of now, it’s actually helped Donald Trump,” he said.
