Poll: 61% of Americans Think President Trump Fired James Comey to Protect Himself
Source: TIME
Seven in 10 (72%) Americans don't trust Trump's word on Russia, but 55% also don't buy Comey's likely a reflection of his own past controversies such as Hillary Clinton's email scandal and an overall distrust of the federal government, according to results from an ABC News and Washington Post survey.
Only 27% felt that Trump dismissed Comey for the good of country. A majority of respondents (56%) believe the President is trying to interfere with the Russia probe Comey was supervising prior to his firing.
Even respondents who identified as conservatives expressed doubt about Trump's word on Russia. The poll found that 60% had low trust about what the President says regarding Russia just 33% said they had substantial trust.

(89,252 posts)maybe something like who do you trust more with only comey and trump as the 2 choices might give a better answer.
That whole email thing before the election makes me question him
I was concerned going in, he might pull a, "Everything Trump said is true." kind of surprise

(22,651 posts)that dossier about trumps Russia playboy years shakes him up more then anything, perhaps because a Republican first ordered that dossier on trump.
IMO, Ryan and Pence aren't advising or helping trump because they want him to be impeached fairly soon.
