More than half of Americans said they are “increasingly convinced” that President Trump committed some wrongdoing

Fifty-three percent of those surveyed said they think Trump did something wrong

while 34 percent said they are increasingly convinced of the president’s innocence

First, “increasingly convinced” from what? Not convinced at all? Somewhat convinced? Next, in one place they say “increasingly convinced that President Trump committed some wrongdoing" then they just say respondents "think Trump did something wrong". Same thing on the "innocence" side.

in order to get different numbers than those who wanted him kicked out vs. not, which doesn't tell us how people feel about Trump's guilt. But guilt is a loaded word. Maybe they were subtlely trying to get different info.

I know it doesn't seem like it when the Senate is corrupt with impunity, but I think we're actually winning this fight.
