Poll: Majority believes Woodward book and NY Times op-ed about Trump admin

Source: The Hill

A majority of Americans believes in the accuracy of Bob Woodward's latest book and an anonymous New York Times op-ed, both of which detail efforts from Trump administration staffers who push back against President Trump.

An Axios/SurveyMonkey poll released Wednesday found that 55 percent of adults believe the allegations raised in the Woodward book and the op-ed purportedly written by a senior administration official.

Democrats were the most likely to believe Woodward and the anonymous author, with 81 percent saying they trust both accounts.

Fifty-one percent of independents said they believe both depictions of the White House, while just 30 percent of Republicans said the same.

Interestingly, the poll did NOT find the usual gender divide we see in polls about Trump. Both 55% of men and 55% of women believed the allegations.
