Polco users and readers visiting WNA member websites from April 21 to May 5 were asked whether they agreed with the jury’s guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial. We asked this question in light of Derek Chauvin on Tuesday, April 20, being found guilty on all three counts in the death of George Floyd.
Out of 747 respondents, 78% said they agreed with the guilty verdict. Fifteen percent said they did not agree with the jury, while 7% said they were not sure.
