That’s according to a survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research that also finds many Republicans continue to believe — contrary to all evidence — that President Joe Biden’s election was illegitimate.
Fewer Americans, 47%, believe the Senate should vote to convict Trump after his impeachment trial, which begins next week. Another 40% say he should not be convicted, and 12% aren’t sure.

They’re at odds with the country over all.
The survey finds two-third of American adults agree that Biden’s election was legitimate.

There’s also a split among Americans about the role Trump played in undermining the facts about the election.
About 2 in 3 believe he bears some responsibility for the insurrection at the Capitol, but about half say the Senate should convict him at his impeachment trial.

Only 36% of Americans overall believe Trump was a great or even a good president, while 50% say he was a poor or terrible one.
Still, more Americans say they’re better off than worse off than they were when Trump took office, by a margin of 38% to 27%.
