Poll: Nearly Half Of Americans Believe Trump Likely Committed A Crime Linked To Russia
HuffPost • Mary Papenfuss • 18 hours ago
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 49 percent of Americans believe President Donald Trump “likely” committed a crime connected to Russia’s suspected interference in last year’s U.S. presidential election.

Of those, 19 percent believe there’s “solid evidence” to back that up, with the other 30 percent saying it’s just a “suspicion.” Another 44 percent of those surveyed said it’s unlikely Trump committed a crime.


More than half of the respondents — 51 percent — don’t believe Trump is cooperating with the investigation, according to the poll.

Most people — 58 percent — approve of the job special counsel Robert Mueller is doing in investigating the possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia, while 28 percent disapprove.

Predictably, the attitudes about Trump and the investigation broke down along party lines, with 78 percent of Democrats and just 38 percent of Republicans approving of how Mueller is handling the investigation. More than half of independent voters, 56 percent, approve of the job Mueller is doing.

The vast majority of Republicans — 82 percent — believe it’s unlikely Trump committed a crime; half of independents and 74 percent of Democrats believe it’s likely he did, the poll found.

Over half of all surveyed — 53 percent — believe the charges revealed Monday against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, associate Rick Gates and former campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos are only part of “broader wrongdoing by people involved in Trump’s campaign.” In contrast, 28 percent believe it’s limited to the three men, while 19 percent expressed no opinion.

Manafort and Gates pleaded not guilty to the charges brought by the special counsel’s office, which included tax evasion and money laundering. Papadopoulos on the other pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

Both before and after the indictments in the Mueller probe, Trump and some of his allies have instead attempted to link Hillary Clinton and the Democrats to Russia. Trump has said that as secretary of state in the Obama administration, Clinton approved a deal allowing the mining arm of the Russian nuclear energy agency to acquire the Canadian company Uranium One, which had uranium mining operations in the U.S.

Trump also insisted in a tweet that it was “generally agreed” that Clinton, not him, colluded with the Russians, following news that the Democratic National Committee had funded a “dossier” about Trump’s alleged ties to Russia created by former British spy Christopher Steele.


The new Washington Post-ABC poll comes after a decline in Trump’s recent approval ratings, with a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll for Oct. 23 to Oct. 26 finding that only 38 percent of Americans approved of the job the president was doing, a new low for his presidency.

A subsequent three-day rolling Gallup poll ending on Sunday found that only 33 percent of those surveyed approved of the job Trump was doing, with 62 percent disapproving. But a later Gallup survey for Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 replicated the Wall Street Journal poll finding of a 38 percent approval rating.

Trump has consistently fared worse this year in Gallup’s polling than in many other surveys, but several recent polls have shown the president dipping below a 40 percent approval rating after a modest September uptick.

HuffPost Pollster’s aggregate of public polling gave Trump an average 39.2 percent approval rating as of Monday evening.

That poll consisted of 753 people.... You do realize there are more than 1506 people that live here in the US.......

Not really what I would call half of America.....

 

Its painfuly obvious that both the hillary and trump camps cheated to one degree or another. Its also obvious that the whole thing is rigged. Bottom line trump out smarted the rebublicans and the democrats. I think any body with a brain knows this. the question is what percent of the country isn't completly stupid.

 

And what % of Americans know Shillary rigged their primary?

 

Trump didn't cheat LOL!!!
If he did, Mueller would have found shit a long long long time ago instead of Manafort's little shady deals conducted a fucking decade ago and failed to use it as leverage.

 

That's what dumb liberals like @imported__2355 do. They post phony polls consisting of very small sample sizes consisting of a heavy bias towards worthless leftist ideologies (brownie points if the "researchers" find crybaby ivy league students) and then say "hey look! trumps in trouble!" XD

As mind-numbingly moronic as that is, its not as embarrassing as @Distant Lover posting a Vanity Fair article in a poor attempt to convince me that liberalism is the only way LMAO!!!

Liberals man. They're desperately trying so very hard to re-define the word "pathetic"

 

I said both trump and Hillary's camp. Trump and hillary themselves have what you call plausible denial.

 

Hillary's state department sold 20% of America's uranium to Russia. Did Trump sell nuclear death fuel to Putin? Nope!
Dubbya, Obama, and Hillary spread their assholes for Russian penis LOL!!!
Hillary PAID the Russians for a dossier against Trump.
Low level Trump campaign officials tried to set up meetings with some Russians but it never went through.
Trump had nothing to do with Russia and his international policies fucks them. Notice how Putin looked like a scared lil bitch when he sat next to Trump at the G20?

But, do tell me again about this "plausible denial" and demonstrate your expertise on the matter at hand. LMFAO!!!!!

 

And half of America voted for Hillary......

 

Im no expert and never claimed to be but Pluasible deniability is a legal concept. it refers to a lack of evedince. its what keeps trump and hillary and many other politician's from being prosuceted.

 

......................You were saying?

 

Republicans claim that they want to cut spending. If they eliminated farm subsidies that map would change quickly.

Like most Americans I feel sentimental about family farms. I see no reason to subsidize agribusiness. Agribusiness is already very profitable.

 

It does not matter what the majority of America thinks. All that matters is our will to power. And for that we are willing to risk danger and hazard and cast dice for desth
