Slightly over half still think he was guilty and they agree that the jury reached the right verdict. Half the country now sees Trump as unfit for president after his conviction, though opinions are strongly partisan. Republicans largely view Trump's trial as unfair due to perceived jury bias and insufficient evidence, while Democrats feel more confident in the justice system following the outcome. There is no consensus on an appropriate punishment - most Americans don't want prison time but views differ sharply between parties.")
