After Trump's conviction on felony charges related to hush money payments, most Republicans now say they are comfortable with a criminal as president, and more think felons should be allowed to be president. About 51% of Americans believe that Trump committed the crimes for which he was convicted in the hush-money case, while 31% do not believe he did.  Two-thirds of Republicans believe he is not guilty, and Independents are more inclined to agree with the guilty verdict than disagree. A recent survey reveals that 7% of registered voters reconsidered their vote due to Trump's conviction. Of these, 3% stated that the verdict made them less likely to vote for Trump, whereas 2% reported it made them more likely to support him.
