Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Trump then reimbursed Cohen the funds -- plus more to cover taxes and a bonus -- in a series of payments throughout 2017, the jurors found.
55% : If Trump wins the election in November, he will have access to broad pardon powers.
52% : Legal experts told Business Insider that Trump will more likely receive probation at his sentencing, which is set for July 11.
40% : The historic Thursday verdict against Trump represents the first time a US president has ever been criminally convicted.
37% : President Joe Biden and his campaign on Thursday were mostly muted in responding to the verdict, acknowledging that Trump still has a path to the presidency despite the conviction.
34% : Trump directed Michael Cohen, his then-fixer, to pay Daniels $130,000 to buy her silence over a sexual encounter she alleges happened between the two at a Lake Tahoe hotel in 2006 during a celebrity golf tournament.
33% : Several states pushed to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot because of this stipulation.
29% : "There's only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box," Biden wrote on X. Daniels, the adult film actress at the center of the entire case, has remained silent on the conviction, at least on social media.
27% : His crimes are nonviolent offenses, and Trump has no previous criminal record and is an elderly man at 77 years old.
26% : A Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush-money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 election.
26% : Trump has repeatedly denied the affair.
22% : Despite being found guilty on all charges, Trump is not expected to go to prison.
21% : Trump appeared furious about the jury's decision, baselessly accusing the trial of being "rigged" after hearing the verdict and declaring himself innocent.
