The trial for Trump’s hush money case in New York commenced on Monday, becoming the initial criminal prosecution involving an American president.
The ex-president is facing 34 charges of fabricating business records in connection with reimbursements made to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
These reimbursements were made to cover the $130,000 payment made to an adult film actress before the 2016 election, with the intention of keeping her silent about an alleged affair with Trump, which he denies.
The Economist/YouGov poll was conducted from April 14 to 16, with a margin of error of 3.2 percent and a sample size of 1,574 respondents.
