The presumption is normally the people wouldn't vote for a criminal let alone one that's in jail.
Who would have thought this would be a hell of a presumption in this day and age
I think it was ABC that just showed a poll saying 15% of independents would be more likely to vote for Trump if he's a convicted felon, 8% less likely, and 74% indifferent.
So uh, at least amongst independent voters, no, apparently being a felon does not matter that much.
