Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : I wouldn't want someone who feels like this to judge my case either.
43% : The completion of the jury selection process tees up the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president for opening statements and weeks of testimony in a case charging Trump with falsifying business records to suppress stories about his sex life emerging in the final days of the 2016 election.
33% : Prosecutors say Trump obscured the true nature of such payments in internal business documents.
29% : One prospective juror said she had connections to not one but two people who've been in Trump's orbit: the former president's ex-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who backed Trump in 2020 but later ran against him.
27% : Prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney's office are looking to fine Trump over violating his gag order after disparaging witnesses in the case on social media.
23% : Trump has said none of the alleged sexual encounters occurred.
22% : Trump says he did nothing wrong and has cast himself as the victim of a politically motivated justice system bent on keeping him out of the White House.
15% : At the heart of the allegations is a $130,000 payment made to porn actor Stormy Daniels by Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and personal fixer, to prevent her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump from becoming public in the final days of the 2016 race.
8% : Manhattan prosecutors have said they want to question Trump about his recent civil fraud trial that resulted in a $454 million judgment after a judge found Trump had lied about his wealth for years.
