MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said Monday that polling released after the conviction of Donald Trump could signal defeats for the former president in battleground states.

Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records last month, and recent polling reported that 7% of Republicans and 21% of independents believe his conviction makes them less likely to support Trump in the election.

“We’re talking about a 50/50 race in Wisconsin, a 50/50 race in Michigan, a 50/50 race in Pennsylvania,” Scarborough told the crew of Morning Joe. “You know where I’m going.”

“If 7% of Republicans are less likely to vote for him because of the conviction and 21% of independents are less likely to vote for him because of the conviction, you don’t need a majority. You don’t need a plurality. You just need numbers like that to swing all three of those races and the election if, in fact, these numbers hold,” he said.

Along with heralding election doom in battleground states, Scarborough criticized anyone harboring the belief that Trump’s conviction was the product of President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.

“I can’t understand how people can be so ill informed or so biased that they would be pushed off to think that a jury of 12 jurors in a New York state case … that somehow this conviction was mastered by Joe Biden,” he said. “They’re just not trying very hard to not be stupid.”
