Public opinion is divided over the issue of whether former President Trump should be obligated to pay the $454 million bond before Monday as he seeks to challenge the verdict in his civil fraud case, according to a recent poll.
According to a recent poll conducted by Harvard CAPS-Harris, the majority of respondents, 52 percent, believe that Trump should be required to post the bond in order to appeal the ruling.
On the other hand, 48 percent of respondents feel that he should be allowed to appeal with a smaller bond.
A significant majority of Democrats, a notable portion of independents, and a smaller fraction of Republicans argue that he should be held responsible for the entire sum.
A majority of respondents, comprising 54 percent, expressed their belief that the penalty imposed on Trump is just. Notably, 85 percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents share this sentiment.
A significant majority of Republicans, totaling 80%, were among the 46% who expressed their belief that the situation is unjust.
In a recent ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron has mandated that Trump, the Trump Organization, and multiple executives be held accountable for fraudulent activities.
The penalties imposed on Trump amount to over $350 million, which, when combined with interest, totals a staggering $454 million.
The recent survey conducted by the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll gathered insights from 2,111 registered voters over the course of two days.
This project is a joint effort between the prestigious Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the renowned Harris Poll.

The results reported in this argument don’t indicate what % of those in favor of the full amount being posted held that position before there was a judgement. Without that information, the reported results are that people think they have an opinion.
Harvard polls ????? What else do you except but for them be slanted against Trump and his supporters.
There was no crime committed…just a disagreement over property values, which happens all the time in real estate. And in one instance, the local taxing authority actually values the property at almost twice the amount Trump claimed.
There were no victims…the supposed “victims” (the banks) all got repaid, with interest, and made a nice profit.
So, given these facts, how can there be any fraud? The only reasonable answer is that there was no fraud, and this entire case is really about a corrupt prosecutor and an even more corrupt judge.
Given what’s going on in New York, and especially in NYC, there is only one word to describe anyone who willingly does business there: FOOL
