   Still, Schmeltzer said, "victory isn't guaranteed this year."   
      
   He believes too many Democratic voters thought for "too long" that   
   Trump's legal troubles would be a bridge too far for independent and   
   moderate voters to consider sending the former president back to the   
   White House, especially as a convicted felon, and "that there just would   
   be no way that Trump would make it to Election Day."   
      
   But with the legal cases over Trump's refusal to accept defeat in 2020   
   in various states of flux, and the Stormy Daniels case that resulted in   
   a conviction having virtually no impact on the polls, Schmeltzer said   
   Democrats are coming to the realization that the election will come   
   down, as they always do, to which party is better at mobilizing their   
   base in the handful of states that matter.   
      
   "The closer the clock gets to midnight, the more and more you'll start   
   to see Democratic voters get scared, and that will rustle them up and   
   get them to work and turn out."
