"Public Opinion on Trump's Hush Money Case: Polls and Perspectives"

A new AP-NORC poll shows that only about one-third of U.S. adults believe former President Donald Trump acted illegally in the hush money case, with close to half thinking he did something illegal in other pending criminal cases. Public opinion of the trial proceedings could impact Trump politically, as half of Americans would consider him unfit to serve as president if convicted. The poll also reveals skepticism about the fairness of the prosecutors, judges, and jurors involved in the cases against Trump, with Republicans less likely than Democrats and independents to believe he committed a crime in the hush money case.
