Even though former President Donald Trump was convicted on 34 felony charges Thursday, the news isn't all bad. The verdict on charges involving falsification of business records was delivered by a Manhattan Criminal Court jury after nearly 10 hours of deliberation.

The landmark case was the first time a former U.S. President has been tried and convicted in a criminal court, signaling a seismic shift in American political history. The jury, composed of seven men and five women, reached their decision in a case that has captivated the nation.

However, according to an exclusive snap poll conducted for the DailyMail, the guilty verdict in Manhattan has actually boosted the former President's popularity among likely voters as the 2024 election approaches.

Among those who reported a change in their view of Donald Trump following his conviction on 34 felony counts, 22 percent now view him more favorably, while only 16 percent view him more negatively. The six-point net positive swing showed the former businessman's uncanny ability to withstand crises. In a closely contested election, this boost could potentially propel him to victory.

“It was done last night right after the verdict, where I'm up six points,” former President Trump said of the poll on Friday. “Six points from what we already were. We were leading fairly substantially. We're up six points in the DailyMail poll. Now, maybe other polls come out and it says something differently. But a lot of people have predicted it because the public understands.”

Trump faced a barrage of charges from District Attorney Alvin Bragg, pleading not guilty to 34 counts of first-degree falsification of business records. As the clock ticked down in the courtroom yesterday, Judge Merchan prepared to dismiss the jurors for the day. However, at approximately 4:20 p.m., plans changed with the arrival of a note from the jury, delaying their dismissal until the verdict could be heard.

According to Judge Merchan who announced the message aloud in the courtroom, the jury declared, “We have a verdict. We would like an extra 30 minutes to fill out the forms if that’d be possible.” The note emerged after jurors deliberated for less than 10 hours over the span of two days.

Shortly after the verdict was announced, dozens of Trump’s most prominent supporters took to social media to announce that they would be donating to his campaign. Donations have since poured in from small donors, causing both Trump’s campaign site and the main site for GOP fundraising platform WinRed to crash.

“A total waste of taxpayer money that will only help Trump win,” said a 42-year-old hip hop DJ from Illinois, who previously voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

“I just donated to Trump. The donation page crashed from traffic,” said newspaper artist and conservative commentator Scott Adams. “This is the hill to die on.”

Shaun Maguire, a partner at Sequoia Capital in Silicon Valley, announced in an X post that he will be donating $300,000 to Trump’s presidential campaign after he was convicted. “Back in 2016 I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such I donated to Hilary Clinton’s campaign and voted for her. By 2020 I was disillusioned and didn’t vote – I didn’t like either option,” Maguire wrote in an X article.

“Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I’m supporting Trump.”
