Trust in the administration is quite low.
A new Politico/Morning Consult poll finds that 52 percent of voters believe Russia has compromising information on President Donald Trump. The finding comes as his administration insists at every turn that Attorney General William Barr’s letter about the Mueller report exonerates Trump, even though it says the exact opposite.
According to the poll, 30 percent believe it’s very likely that Russia has compromising information, with another 22 percent adding that it’s somewhat likely and 14 percent saying they don’t know. Even among those who identified as Republicans, some 22 percent believed it’s likely. Only 35 percent of all voters believed to some degree that it’s not likely.
The poll also found that a 47 percent plurality of voters believe Trump “tried to impede or obstruct the investigation into whether his campaign had ties to Russia.” A 49 percent plurality also said they’re most likely to accept Robert Mueller’s Version of the investigation, with only 27 percent saying they’d trust Trump’s. Most voters believe the full Mueller report should be made public (82 percent).
