Half the country says Trump is not fit to be president; Republicans call the trial unfair, according to CBS News poll.

Views about former President Donald Trump's New York criminal trial after the verdict look much like they did before it took place. Just over half the country thought Trump was guilty before the verdict, and now just over half think the jury reached the right verdict and that the trial was fair. Republicans remain overwhelmingly of the belief that Trump was treated unfairly.

Republicans are more disappointed than angry, but not particularly surprised. Most Republicans don't think Trump was convicted of serious crimes in this case. Among those who feel the jury reached the wrong verdict, six in 10 say the crimes are 'not at all serious.' And they by and large feel Trump was treated worse than most other criminal defendants.There's also disagreement on what punishment fits the crime, if any.
