A majority of Americans believe former President Donald Trump broke the law with his pressure campaign in Georgia to overturn the 2020 presidential election, but less than half think he committed a crime in the Stormy Daniels hush money case that led to his New York indictment, according to a poll published Thursday.
Overall, 53% of respondents voted that the former president breached the law in Georgia and 41% judged that he broke the law through his fixer’s payments to Daniels, the survey by the The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found.
The poll, which was conducted between last Thursday and Monday, underscored skepticism some Americans have about the criminal case brought against Trump in Manhattan, but also suggested Trump’s legal peril in the Peach State may produce a more politically damaging indictment.
