GOP Voters Twice As Likely To Say Chauvin Isn’t Guilty

April 10, 2021 Police, Republicans

In a The Economist/YouGov Poll released this week, respondents were asked “Do you believe Derek Chauvin should be found guilty of murder?”

Among all respondents, 57 percent said “yes” Chauvin should be found guilty, with 25 percent saying they were “not sure” and just 18 percent saying “no.”

But among Republicans, only 31 percent said Chauvin should be found guilty, and 36 percent said he should not — twice as many as the overall respondents who said Chauvin should not be found guilty.
