Though the material of Donald Trump's hush-money case might seem salacious, a polling expert tells BBC News that he doubts it will do much to affect the views of the voting public about the 2024 presidential election. David Pecker is back at the stand and the jury has been seated, focusing on the tabloid publisher as he testifies.
Sean J Westwood, a pollster and politics professor at Dartmouth University, says that "Americans either think this trial is a political vendetta or long-due justice". Pecker is discussing a White House dinner that he says Trump threw for him as a "thank you".
Voters who have made up their minds about the presidential election are the ones who are likely watching, he notes, and those who haven't probably aren't tuning in. Pecker says during a walk with Trump on the White House grounds, he asked "How is Karen [McDougal] doing?"
"Undecided voters who are struggling to buy groceries or pay rent are just not watching the trial. It is easy to get stuck in the play-by-play of the trial, but it isn't clear that average Americans care."
