The charts above reflect the results of the new Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between April 3rd and 6th of a national sample of 1,500 adults (including 1,243 registered voters). The margin of error for adults is 2.8 points, and for registered voters is 3 points.

A significant majority of Americans (57% of adults and 58% of registered voters) believe Derek Chauvin should be convicted of the murder of George Floyd.

However, being aware of other trials of policeman, less than a majority believe that will happen --only 40% of adults and 42% of registered voters.
