Trump is still facing racketeering charges in Georgia related to his attempts to overturn that state’s results in 2020 He also faces two federal cases, one concerning possession of classified documents and another over his alleged attempts to subvert the transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election.

Yost said the New York verdicts may not have the biggest effect on voters, given the white-collar nature of the case, compared to the severity of the three other cases that have yet to go to trial.

“I think that’s probably one reason people think that this one may not be that big a deal because they didn’t think the charges are equivalent in their seriousness to either the January 6th activities and events or the documents case,” he said.

Yost says areas to watch for potential impact on voters’ opinions are swing counties like Erie, Northampton and Lehigh.

In 2020, President Joe Biden won Northampton by one percent.

Yost emphasizes polls are snapshots of the state electorate at a particular time and should be taken with a grain of salt, since they are not indicative of what may actually happen in the  November election.

“We don’t know the effect of this verdict on people’s attitudes,” he said. “And so all of these things lead us to, or should remind us, to expect some volatility here because we are in a circumstance that is pretty unique.”
