Just 35% of US adults say Trump broke the law in New York hush money case, poll finds
Many U.S. adults are not convinced that former President Trump committed a crime in the hush money case that began jury selection in New York City on Monday, according to a new poll.
Only 35% of U.S. adults say Trump did something illegal in the case that alleges he falsified business documents to cover up hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, who has said that she and Trump had a sexual encounter, an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found.
Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies any extramarital sexual encounter with Daniels.
The poll found that 31% of Americans believe Trump’s actions were unethical, but not illegal. Another 14% of respondents said Trump did nothing wrong, while 19% said they did not know enough to be sure.

About half of respondents say that they are very or somewhat confident that state prosecutors in New York are treating Trump fairly, while 44% say they have little or no confidence that the prosecutors are unbiased.
If convicted, however, about half of the public says Trump would be unfit for office.
