Last month, YouGov conducted a poll for CBS News that included a question focused specifically on the Supreme Court case decided on Monday: Pollsters asked whether the U.S. president should have broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken in office.A majority of Americans — more than two-thirds — said no. There were party lines, but Democrats overwhelmingly rejected the idea that the president should have such power.
