Total voter block.
That would be illogical. Democrat voters aren't going to change their vote based on Trump being found guilty of a felony because they already weren't voting for him. Also, when broken down, roughly 25% of Trump voters said they would reconsider their vote if he were found guilty of a felony. The percentage was higher among independents. Of course, again, Democrats wouldn't really be changing because they already weren't voting for him.
Out of everything you listed, only the Stormy Daniels testimony would be something I would see as a leverage point. Though Trump's team opened the door for it and did not object in the moment, which makes it difficult to appeal on it down the road.
There wasn't actually anything off about the jury instructions, as much as some in the media are making it seem. The law wasn't changed so he could be charged and up-charging is a part of the law he was charged with.
When opening and calling someone naive, it is belittling. If I did that in my professional life, it would result in numerous complaints, and rightly so.
Could you post the source of your numbers so I could see the poll, so I am not guessing at numbers and methodology? I could easily see democrats answers that yes to the poll, pending how it was done, and thus be that 20-25%. The verdict did not hurt DJT's voter base, and an appeal will follow in due time, and we will see how it plays out.
