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.

    …A leftist person saying the left can’t be evil is either stupid, a liar, or possibly both if he thinks anyone believes that.

      The modern left can’t be evil. Its most radical elements are too far removed from power. We are in no danger of a Maoist purge any time soon.

        What a person or philosophy is, still is, whether or not it has the ability.

            you mean the literal cannibals that peck their fellow chickens to death if they see a wound or weakness?
