A new poll shows that a sizable plurality of the American people believe that the New York trial of former President Donald Trump was a politically-motivated show trial.
As the Daily Caller reports, the ABC News/Ipsos poll shows that 47% of Americans believe the trial was indeed a political hit job, while 38% say that the trial was legitimate and fair.
On the question of the “guilty” verdict, 50% of respondents believe the verdict was correct; by contrast, just 27% believe the verdict was wrong, while the remaining 23% said they “don’t know” what to believe with regards to the verdict.
Among those who claimed to have followed the case closely, 55% say the verdict was correct while 35% say it was incorrect; another 8% said they “don’t know.”
After the verdict was announced, 49% of respondents said that Trump should end his campaign for re-election.
Among partisan lines, just 16% of Republicans said Trump should drop out while 75% want him to continue his candidacy. Among Democrats, 79% want Trump to drop out now, while 52% of independents say the same thing.
The same poll also showed that the trial and its outcome have had virtually no effect on Trump’s approval ratings, and may have even led to a slight increase. While the former president had a 29% favorability in March, his favorability currently sits at 31%. Biden’s favorability is at 32%, a slight decrease from 33% in March.
The poll featured a sample size of 781 American adults, and was conducted from May 31st to June 1st. The margin of error is 3.7%.
Another abc/Oopsie “Poll”. There you go! It’s good to know that U.S. residents spend all day watching the Liberal Trumpy Trials will the Illegal Alien Invaders are destroying America.
The people who hate Trump and any Republican did not answer this poll honestly.
“Plurality Of Americans Believe Trump Trial Was Politically Motivated;” Plurality? Plurality? Americans are even more stupid than I thought possible.
So now in America, you may be a felon if you label your legal expenses as “legal expenses”. And a significant percentage of Americans are okay with this.
If these numbers are even close to accurate, a shockingly large number of Americans are total idiots. Anyone who thinks that this “guilty” verdict is correct is either (1) not familiar with the details of the case; (2) a partisan Trump-hater who couldn’t care less about the facts and the law; (3) a gullible sucker who swallows mainstream media propaganda; or (4) all of the above.
Politico no friend of Trump had it at 62%
“Among those who claimed to have followed the case closely, 55% say the verdict was correct while 35% say it was incorrect; another 8% said they “don’t know.””
If this poll is legitimate (it is ABC after all), it only shows two things.
1. The conspiracy of the Democrats and the MSM to demonize DJT/MAGA/Conservatives is working as planned.
and
2. Ignorance runs rampant in the United States.
If 55% of those polled believe the verdict was correct - even though no underlying crime as been named and there was no direct evidence, then God help us all . . .

I cannot “cast the first stone,” but elite Democrats tend to bear false witness against their neighbors imo.
