Trump: Republican poll numbers would be higher if not for 'witch hunt'

Donald Trump accused special counsel Robert Mueller on Saturday of hurting his and Republican candidates' approval ratings, again characterizing the special counsel's investigation as a "witch hunt."

The president tweeted Saturday afternoon that his approval ratings, which have hovered below 50 percent for weeks in most polls, and those of Republican candidates around the country would be higher if not for Mueller's investigation into possible ties between his campaign and Russia in the 2016 presidential election.

"While my (our) poll numbers are good, with the Economy being the best ever, if it weren’t for the Rigged Russian Witch Hunt, they would be 25 points higher!" Trump said.

"Highly conflicted Bob Mueller & the 17 Angry Democrats are using this Phony issue to hurt us in the Midterms. No Collusion!" he added.
