Two surveys since the verdict show that slightly more Americans say Trump shouldn’t go to prison than say he should:
- A Reuters-Ipsos poll shows Americans oppose a prison sentence 51 percent to 46 percent.
- A CBS News-YouGov poll shows Americans oppose it 45 to 38 percent.
A significant number of Americans who approve of the Manhattan trial feel this way. For instance, in the CBS poll, Americans said that the trial was fair, 56 to 44 percent, and that the verdict was correct, 57-43. So Americans believe in the trial and outcome by double digits, but they still lean against prison time.
