Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The appeals court's decision lowers the bond threshold, providing Trump with a 10-day window to obtain the necessary funds.
38% : The appeals court ruling also stayed trial Judge Arthur Engoron's decisions barring Trump from serving as an officer or director of a New York company for three years and prohibiting the Trump defendants from applying for loans from New York lenders for the same period.
36% : However, the judgment itself remains in place, and if Trump loses his appeal, he will be liable for the full amount.
26% : Trump has repeatedly condemned the verdict, claiming it is politically motivated to damage his chances in the upcoming presidential election.
20% : Despite the reduction in the bond amount, Trump still faces accountability for the alleged fraud.
16% : The $454 million judgment stems from a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization of fraudulently inflating property values to obtain loans.
