A majority of Americans say special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia is fair and should continue without interference, a Marist College poll reports.
The poll, released Friday, finds that just more than half of those surveyed, 53 percent, say that the special counsel probe is a "fair" investigation into Trump's campaign, while 28 percent say it is "unfair." This marks an increase from 48 percent who said the investigation was "fair" in the same poll last month.
In addition, respondents said they are more likely to trust Mueller than Trump. Given an option between the two, 55 percent said they would believe Mueller over Trump, compared to 30 percent that said the reverse.
Most Americans still have a positive view of the FBI despite weeks of attacks from Trump and congressional Republicans over the bureau's handling of both the Russia investigation and the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server, the poll finds.
You might think this would be obvious.
I mean of course more people trust Robert Mueller over Donald Trump. Right?
But keep in mind that the entire Devin Nunes, Republican attack, Fox News propaganda machine is all about destroying Mueller's reputation and undermining his investigation.
So the fact that all of that has only increased confidence in Robert Mueller and his investigation is good news indeed.
Hopefully that will continue to be the case.
I'm sorry to say that we could a hundred per cent trusting Mueller, but if the repubes in the House decide NOT to do anything with it, we are screwed - until we can get them OUT of office!
ReplyDeleteSo turn out and VOTE!
I don’t know, Leland, dems’ silence is just as frustrating. Something way beyond what we’re being told is going on here, and my trust level for any of them is ZERO.
DeleteAGREED!
DeleteTo a certain degree, I agree with you, 5:51, but at least we haven't seen the blatant lying and hypocrisy (generally speaking) from the Dems as the repubes. And most (not all) of the womanizing and misogyny seems to be on the side of the repubes. Either way, the solution is still the same: VOTE!
DeleteEVERYONE!
Do NOT sit on your ass. Participate. And that includes getting active in the election process BEFORE election day. Help with the appointment and support process. Help DECIDE who runs as your party's representative. There is ALWAYS something each party needs help with. Ask them.
Fat @ss is going to have to tighten his sphincter muscles pure and simple. Hasn't it been said for months that if Mueller is fired all hell will break loose?
ReplyDeleteIn other news, 100% of (the vast general public) really has no idea where this is going, and the reality is everything you have read by bloggers and whatever we call news these days is pure speculation, and/or agenda driven at that.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Russian propaganda served its purpose with you.
DeleteIt certainly is and downright exhausting. Maybe that’s what they want.....to get us to the point where we feel helpless and they can do whatever they want, Constitution be damned. We may already be there.
DeleteDistrust and confusion. Those are the tools of the dictator.
DeleteAnd, 6:19? you are exactly right. They don't WANT us to be any other way. If we know what's going on, they can't control us. And THAT is the primary reason the free press was one of Humpty Trumpty's first targets.
It is THE primary reason the Founders wrote it as they did. Even then they knew about propaganda and the potential it holds.
6:19 Rinse. Repeat.
DeleteStill 30%, almost 1/3, of 'Murkins believe and trust this serial liar.
ReplyDeleteSMHID.
People need to understand, Trump isn’t fighting to hold onto his Presidency. The shit he has done in business and the shady financing deals that built it, and the fact he WILL lose it all when Mueller’s investigation is completed is what’s driving Trump. Kushner s business dealings will also fall.
ReplyDeleteNew York State of mind...
DeleteDIRTY?!'"I dedicate this medal to all guys that have been excluded from these Games in such a hard and unfair way. This medal is for you."
ReplyDeleteHis comments are being investigated because they appear to break the rules over making political statements.'

The RNC conducted a twitter poll on Trump's approval ratings and it did not go well. (Does it ever?)
ReplyDelete"The RNC on Saturday shared a link to the survey on Trump’s official campaign website." (and you know this was only an excuse to shill for money.)
"Folks on Twitter made fun of the poll because it only invited them to rate Trump’s job performance as “Great,” “Good,” “Okay” or “Other.”
The “other” section did allow people to expand on their thoughts, but critics dubbed the question as “biased.”
It’s fair to say that Trump won’t approve of some of the responses:"
