A majority of district residents, from which a federal court could tap for a jury pool in Donald Trump’s expected trial on 2020 election interference charges, believe the former president is guilty.
In a new survey, Emerson College Polling said 64% of Washington’s residents would find Trump guilty, confirming the Trump team’s concern about bias against its client in the capital city.
What’s more, those who are eager to be on a jury in a Trump case want to make sure he is convicted, the poll analysis said.
“It appears that those who are more impartial about the trial are less likely to want to serve on the jury,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of the survey outfit. “Those who want to serve find Trump guilty rather than innocent 68% to 9%, with 23% unsure, while those who don’t want to serve think Trump is guilty 60% to 6%, with 34% unsure,” Kimball added.
