Post-ABC poll: Most Americans approve of Trump-Russia probe, and nearly half think Trump committed a crime
By Emily Guskin and Matt Zapotosky November 2 at 2:00 PM
More than twice as many Americans approve as disapprove of special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs investigation of possible coordination between Donald Trumps 2016 campaign and the Russian government, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds, indicating that the conservative effort to discredit the probe has fallen flat as the case has progressed toward its first public charges.
A 58 percent majority say they approve of Muellers handling of the investigation while 28 percent say they disapprove, the Post-ABC poll finds. Peoples views depend in large part on their political leanings, but overall, Americans are generally inclined to trust Mueller and the case he has made so far.
Meanwhile, fewer than 4 in 10 Americans say they believe Trump is cooperating with Muellers investigation, while about half believe he is not.
A similar 49 percent think it is likely Trump himself committed a crime in connection with possible Russian attempts to influence the election, though more say this view is based on suspicion rather than hard evidence.
