Is it true that he can still run for the office even if he's in jail?

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.
