A CNN poll revealed that 66 percent of voters think special counsel Robert Mueller should wrap up his investigation by the November 2018 midterm elections, but CNN's Jeffrey Toobin says the poll doesn't matter because Mueller doesn't care about his polling numbers.

(3,148 posts)The headline from the poll is misleading. Many people think Donny is guilty of multiple crimes. The only reason why I want the probe to in Janaury is for political purposes. So if I responded to this poll, I'd reply yes end it as I think they've proven Donny campaigned conspired with the Russians.

(844 posts)Because it doesnt separate those who want the probe to end so impeachment to begin and those who want it to be over because they stupidly believe Dump is innocent.
This is the kind of thing I wish CNN wouldnt engage in because its just fodder for distraction.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Wanting the probe to be over before the mid-terms is meaningless unless you follow up with why a respondent wants the probe over. CNN's own legal eagle, Jeffrey Toobin, says the poll is meaningless. I guess if someone needs to justify setting a pile of money on fire, CNN has to report on its own garbage poll. If I were director of programming, I'd tell the nitwit who commissioned the poll to poll something meaningful next time (if there is a next time for said nitwit).

Did they poll voters on how long they wanted Benghazi to last? Or how about if they feel their votes will be safe??

... A new CNN poll finds ...
--58 percent say this is a serious matter that should be investigated, vs. only 37 percent who think it's mainly an effort to discredit Trump.
--56 percent say Trump has interfered with the investigation, vs. only 38 percent who say he has not ...
--57 percent say Trump knew about contacts between his campaign operatives and Russians, vs. only 36 percent who say he did not.
Trump is losing every single public argument about the Mueller probe ...

These polls only seem to be of interest to the media if the investigation is of a Repuke.
