57% : The sentencing, which will likely result in no jail time or fines, marks a historic moment as Trump becomes the first U.S. president - former or sitting - to be convicted of felony crimes.
55% : The sentencing date, set at the New York County Courthouse, places Trump in a unique position as he prepares to assume the presidency.
45% : Merchan also indicated that he would likely impose an "unconditional discharge," meaning no jail time, fines or probation, but the conviction would stand, allowing Trump to appeal.
33% : A New York jury in May 2024 found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal the payment, which prosecutors argued was intended to influence the 2016 presidential election.
19% : The case has sparked intense debate, with Trump and his legal team calling it politically motivated and criticizing Merchan for potential bias.
10% : The case stems from an alleged $130,000 payment made by Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, to Daniels in 2016 to silence her claims of a past sexual encounter with Trump, which he denies.
