Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Though Florida -- where Trump is registered to vote -- prohibits people convicted of felonies from voting until their sentence is complete, New York law will allow him to maintain his voting rights.
43% : As part of sentencing, a judge may impose travel restrictions, but that's usually only done when there's concern that the person might flee.
41% : But Trump -- who in 2012 told the Washington Times he had a concealed-carry permit and owned several guns -- could eventually get that ban reversed.
40% : Trump could face restrictions when it comes to voting, travel and gun ownership.
29% : Like any other American found guilty of a crime, Trump is likely to face new restrictions and lose a number of rights due to his newfound felon status.
28% : Florida law states that felons are ineligible to vote "only if the conviction would make the person ineligible to vote in the state where the person was convicted," thus clearing the way for Trump to cast his ballot in November -- as long as he's not behind bars at that point, in which case, he would be legally prohibited from voting.
19% : "I would be surprised if Judge Merchan will feel that travel restrictions are necessary as Trump is not a flight risk," Bader said.
