A new Politico-Ipsos poll Tuesday showed Americans’ perception of former President Donald Trump’s criminal cases, with a notable shift among independents.
The poll, based on responses from 1,024 adults in the general U.S. population, found that about half of Americans believe that Trump is guilty in each of the four criminal cases he is facing: the Manhattan “hush money” case, the Mar-a-Lago documents case, the Georgia election interference case and the federal election interference case. Ipsos noted in its reports that the numbers are fairly steady compared to a similar poll from August 2023, conducted shortly after the most recent of the four indictments was brought.
Also steady were the results along party lines for Democrats and Republicans. Among respondents, those who identified as Democrats heavily favored the belief that Trump is guilty, ranging between 86 percent and 87 percent for each case. Republicans, conversely, favored the belief that Trump is not guilty, though to a less pronounced degree, between 60 percent and 67 percent for each case.
Why do we need convincing outside the law? If the guy is guilty of whatever, sentence him and be done with it.
“If” he’s guilty? Haaahahaha
What do you mean outside the law? We’re talking about a Federal prosecutor, who is in the process of Prosecuting the case. This literally is the law.
Yes
I am distressed by the trend in news of reporting what a new Politico-Ipsos poll shows as if it were highly relevant information
A better way to write this story would be “Only half of Americans believe Donald Trump is guilty even though he clearly is.” Fuck it, let him sue for defamation if he can find and pay some lawyers, I’d be happy to prove in court that he is in fact guilty as my way of defending myself.
