NEW FROM @CBSNewsPoll: Three in four Americans think the jury reached the right verdict in which former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd, a majority view that spans across all racial, age and partisan groups. 
The smaller portion of Americans — 25% — who believe the jury reached the wrong verdict strongly disagree with the ideas of the Black Lives Matter movement. This group is composed of more men than women, is disproportionately White and they mostly identify as conservative.
@POTUS Biden, who has called the #DerekChauvin verdict a step forward, gets a 60% approval rating for his general handling of matters surrounding George Floyd's death and Chauvin's trial. This is similar to his overall job rating as he closes in on 100 days in office.
Today, more Americans agree than disagree with the ideas expressed by the Black Lives Matter movement. Black Americans, Democrats and younger people are particularly likely to agree, according to new @cbsnewspoll.
Overall, people still have mostly positive views of local police. Most rate the job they are doing as at least somewhat good. Black Americans rate local police more positively than negatively, but are (17%) less likely than Whites (39%) to say local police are doing "very good.”
