A small ray of light at the end of a very bleak week:

89% (!) of Americans believe either that the charges against Derek Chauvin are appropriate, or that he should have been charged with a *more* serious crime.
(Full disclosure: In an earlier tweet, which I've now deleted, I misread one of the digits on the poll, and gave a wrong total. Reposted here with the correct total.)
A few other heartening findings:

A clear majority of Americans recognizes that there is a real problem with lack of accountability for police misconduct.
With the exception of cutting funding for police departments, which remains very unpopular, a very clear majority of Americans supports a broad range of measures to curb police violence.
And it's not just that a majority of Americans disapproves of Trump's handling of a range of issues, from COVID-19 to immigration.

It's that a *larger* number of Americans disapproves of Trump's handling of "race relations" than of the other topics the poll asked about.
