Sixty percent of Americans say Trump is using his presidential office for personal financial benefit, as a judge ordered him to pay E. Jean Carroll following a third major legal loss in 24 hours.
A new poll shows 60% of Americans say Trump is using his presidential office for personal financial benefit. The timing coincides with a judge ordering Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll following a third major legal loss in 24 hours, adding concrete recent losses to the narrative about legal jeopardy.
Polls on presidential motive are inherently soft—they measure opinion, not fact. But a 60% majority saying a president is enriching himself in office is significant politically. It suggests the public isn't compartmentalizing Trump's legal losses as separate from his use of office; they're seeing a pattern. The Carroll judgment is especially notable because it's a civil ruling with real money attached, not a criminal verdict or a case still in process. That makes it tangible in a way that pending charges aren't.
