As the first day of testimony wrapped up in former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial, new polling showed that a majority of New Yorkers consider the prosecution warranted.
A Siena College Research Institute poll released Monday, April 22, showed that 54 percent of respondents said the trial is “legitimate,” while 30 percent saw the prosecution as a meritless “witch hunt.”
Broken down by party, 77 percent of Democrats and 44 percent of independents called the proceedings a “legitimate trial to determine whether Trump is or is not guilty of criminal behavior.” Meanwhile, 66 percent of Republicans considered the trial a “witch hunt” meant to “interfere in this year’s presidential election.”
“A majority of New Yorkers, 60 percent – including 68 percent of Democrats, 57 percent of Republicans and 50 percent of independents – are paying a great deal or some attention to Trump’s ongoing trial,” Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said.
The Siena College poll was conducted between Monday, April 15 and Wednesday, April 17 with 806 registered New York voters.

There is Zero salvation for New York City and its inhabitants...best they just disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Considering that it’s NYC we’re talking about, those numbers don’t look so bad.
One of the things I find curious about polls is that even if I’m sent a questionnaire for anything, I almost never answer it. Rarely do I participate. I don’t want to be bothered, for the first thing. The second thing is that I don’t want to be misunderstood. They often ask a question in such a way that the answer can be interpreted however they see fit, and not how I intended. So who are the people who answer these polls?
Isn’t Merchan being paid money to “hush” Trump up?
I wonder if he reports his salary as a campaign expense.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
iirc, they’re running that money through his daughter + giving his wife a cushie job
New yerkers......meh!

Here’s the statute: https://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article175.php#p175.15
It is only a felony if it is intended to hide the commission of another crime.
What is that other crime that Trump was intending to hide?
Bragg won’t say. Without saying, his charges are misdemeanors at worst, and too late to prosecute at that.
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK is more useful everyday.
AGREED
Thanks. I just looked it up myself and posted about it before I saw your response.
Even if Trump falsified business records (and I doubt that he did), it is a misdemeanor and beyond the statute of limitations.
To bring these charges the falsification had to be to cover up a different crime. Bragg won’t say what crime that is. It is the whole justification for thim bringing the case, and he won’t say what it is.
Before this case could even be brought, Trump should have been required to be convicted of whatever crime it is that he supposedly hid through the “fraud”.
But Bragg not only won’t cite the crime Trump was found guilty of, he won’t charge Trump with the crime, and he won’t even say what crime it supposedly IS.
This is WAY beyond banana republic territory.
The only thing that matters with this sham trial is the day the hack “judge” pronounces “judgement” on Trump’s bogus felonies.
Then I wonder if his wife and daughter are reporting their income as campaign expenses.
NYC wanted to secede during the Civil War; we should take them up on it and build a wall around the city. Hillary Clinton could be the first NYC “president”, having failed the DC Bar exam.
For some reason a FReeper singled me out for being against the Leftist New Yorkers a few weeks ago.
I was conciliatory and gracious.
Reconsidering.
Cooked poll.
Again.
GOOD POINT
Democrats are using the law as a sledgehammer to take down their political opponents - and most likely with the ‘help’ of ‘intelligence’. <P?This is lowlife totalitarian crap at a third world level.
Illegal campaign contributions.
Did Bragg say that anywhere? If so, what law does he cite, and when was Trump charged and convicted of that crime?
