"SNIP............

A new USA Today/Suffolk University Poll found 65% expect a guilty verdict on at least some of the 34 felony charges that Donald Trump tried to affect the 2016 election by paying hush money to a porn star, then falsified business records to cover it up.

Just 23% of those surveyed, disproportionately Trump supporters, say he will be exonerated.
