A small number of Americans would be influenced by the outcome of former President Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal trial, according to a poll released by NPR and PBS on Thursday.

Overall, two-thirds of respondents said that a guilty verdict wouldn’t make a difference in how they will vote in November, while 76 percent said the same regarding a not guilty verdict, the survey found.
