Voters Agree With Trump on Russia Probe

Congressional Democrats are committing a grave political blunder by continuing to push Russia conspiracy theories and insinuating that Attorney General William Barr is perpetrating a cover-up by complying with the law in his handling of the Mueller report.

Several polls conducted since the Mueller probe ended suggest that most Americans believe the President is innocent of wrongdoing and that the Democrats are merely playing politics.

A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, for example, found that two-thirds of registered voters want Congress to accept the special counsel's finding and forego any further investigations.

The survey of 1,437 registered voters, which was first reported by the Hill, asked respondents the following question: "Should the Democrats in Congress accept the finding of the special counsel or contest the finding and do another investigation?" No fewer than 68 percent of the voters answered, "Accept finding." The survey also found that 64 percent of voters are themselves willing to accept the conclusions reached by the Mueller report, and 61 percent personally agree with them.

The survey asked 1,002 adults, "Do you think the investigation into possible dealings between Trump associates and Russia was justified, or was the investigation politically motivated?" Fully 54 percent answered, "Politically motivated." Predictably, CBS buried this datum deep in its article on the poll.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 31% of all Likely U.S. Voters think congressional Democrats should do their own investigation even though the Mueller probe has failed to prove that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government.

It's one of the rare questions in the first two years of the Trump presidency in which a majority of independents sided with Republicans instead of Democrats on a subject.
