AP Poll: Most Think Trump Has Illegally Or Unethically Colluded With Russia

Source: Associated Press



By CHAD DAY and Emily Swanson Published DECEMBER 15, 2017 12:32 PM

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Americans think Donald Trump did something illegal or at least unethical regarding ties between his presidential campaign and Russia — and they think he’s trying to obstruct the investigation looking into those possible connections.

The deeply divided country is more concerned about health care and the economy than any collusion with the Kremlin, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. But the survey also shows that Americans are unhappy with the way Trump is dealing with the investigations led by Congress and special counsel Robert Mueller.

Most people believe Trump is trying to obstruct the investigations, which have resulted in charges against four of his campaign advisers and increasingly appear focused on the president’s inner circle.

Four in 10 Americans think the president has done something illegal when it comes to Russia, while an additional 3 in 10 say he’s at least done something unethical. And 68 percent disapprove of his response to the investigations.

unless the criminals are held accountable, based on the amount of mud being stirred up right now, I doubt that there will ever be a reckoning. Sure a Political beating by the left but none on their side will care, it will be all about how he improved the economy and put more money back into the hands of regular folks (BARF)...

Why did Putin do it? To harm America. And who is their agent? Donald Trump.

The GOP is a party of traitors.

Trump is so tied to Russia, that it is now incumbent upon him to prove he is not a Russian operative.
