Nearly two-thirds of voters believe that former President Trump will be found guilty on some charges in his ongoing criminal trial. A recent Suffolk University/USA Today national poll of registered voters revealed that 65% of respondents anticipate a conviction for Trump on some of the nearly three-dozen state felony charges he is facing in his trial in New York City, marking a historic moment as the first trial of its kind for a former or current president.
The charges against Trump stem from allegations of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election to keep quiet about an alleged affair. Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, reportedly paid Daniels $130,000 in exchange for her silence regarding the alleged encounter with Trump in 2006. Despite the accusations, Trump has consistently denied falsifying business records and the alleged affair with Daniels.
