Poll: 54 percent say Mueller has conflict of interest

A majority of polled voters say special counsel Robert Mueller has a conflict of interest because of his past ties to former FBI Director James Comey, according to the latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey.




When asked if Mueller has a conflict of interest “as the former head of the FBI and a friend of James Comey,” 54 percent responded that the “relationship” between the two amounts to a conflict of interest, including 70 percent of Republicans, 53 percent of independents and 40 percent of Democrats.

"The special counsel has serious perception issues as a clear majority now see him as having a conflict of interest,” said Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris survey.

1. jeez, people have no idea what a "conflict of interest" even is.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. Especially when they have something to gain.

Getting nervous Vlad?

3. Nope. Majority of Americans want Mueller to continue

Always wary of polls, like this one.

4. Yes, per November ABC poll cited in article

"A Washington Post-ABC poll in early November found that 58 percent approve of Mueller’s investigation. That poll showed a significant different among parties, with 78 percent of Democrats approving of the probe, but 56 percent of independents and 38 percent of Republicans disapproving."

7. You are thinking of The New York Post maybe (Murdoch owned)

[BannonsLiver]

8. Murdoch doesnt own the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos does.

And if you have been following this story you’d know the Post has been a thorn in Red Don’s ass from Day 1.

9. republicans are experts at disinformation.

10. this

this

11. Only because Trump tweeted and Fox News spread lie that Mueller/Comey were close friends

as if that is something bad. Comey's friend Ben Wittes claims the men are not personal friends, only colleagues and that the poll seemed to frame question as if the two men were actually friends, so poll is worthless. .

Amazing though that in Trumpworld it's A-OK for Trump and Putin to be best buddies, but a terrible firing offense if Mueller and Comey were friendly colleagues after working together as our top law enforcement officials in Justice Dept, and were both FBI directors.

12. Yeah was a very biased question

13. Mark Penn

This poll is disinformation. It all depends who you ask and how you ask them.

[genxlib]

15. You beat me to it.

[genxlib]

14. You can always count on Mark Penn

To present the worst possible positions while pretending to be one of us.

16. If people read readily available books on the history of Watergate and Whitewater

they would know this is how one side uses psyops to manipulate the American people. I'm unmoved.
