Nearly half of all Republicans questioned in a new poll said that they believe former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was wrongly convicted of murdering George Floyd.
A total of 46 percent of respondents to the CBS News-YouGov poll who identified as Republican said the Hennepin County jury reached the “wrong verdict.” Only 10 percent of Democrats said the same thing.
The 25 percent of Americans who said they believe the jury reached the wrong verdict also said they stronglydisagree with the ideas of the Black Lives Matter movement, CBS News noted.
