Most Americans don't think Trump is in the clear yet on Russia, new poll finds

Source: NBC News



President Trump's approval remains stable and a third of voters say they don't know whether the summary of Mueller's findings clears him of wrongdoing in new NBC News/WSJ poll.

WASHINGTON — Even as the White House breathes a sigh of relief in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller’s summarized findings in the Russia probe, the American public does not see a clear verdict about whether or not President Donald Trump has been cleared of wrongdoing.

According to a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll, 29 percent of Americans say they believe Trump has been cleared of wrongdoing, based on what they have heard about Mueller’s findings, while 40 percent say they do not believe he has been cleared.

But a third of Americans — 31 percent — say they’re not sure if Trump has been cleared. That includes nearly half of independents (45 percent) and about a quarter of both Democrats (27 percent) and Republicans (25 percent.)

Respondents were asked about their views of the special counsel’s work on March 25-27, beginning the day after Attorney General William Barr released his summary of Mueller’s report that stated the probe “did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

for using our eyes, ears and brain. However, it's not like you even tried to hide it.

People keep misquoting Barr. He doesn't say " no one conspired or coordinated with Russia" what he actually said was "no one conspired or coordinated with the Russian government." There's a big difference and could be intrepided to mean there was conspiring and coordination with someone just not the Russian government.

is stupid, insane or both. Anecdotal, but I see exactly that in my own extended family. And in line with recent research.
