Americans Overwhelmingly Support The Investigations Of Donald Trump By Mueller

We see a lot of nonsense, here on NT and in other places, we hear gibberish, balderdash and lies from the like of the despicable Sarah Sanders and the fools at Fox News , where they profess that the American people are tired of the president being harassed by a "witch hunt"  of probes into his conduct.  Sanders was especially evil today as she denounced Comey in the vilest terms imaginable. This was harsh stuff. 

Well, guess what? New polling shows that the American people are entirely behind Mueller in terms of the legitimacy of his investigation.

WaPo-ABC Poll: Majority Of Americans Support Mueller's Investigation











A majority of Americans approve of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling and possible collusion with the Trump campaign in the 2016 election , according to a new Washington Post-ABC poll . Smaller majorities also approve of Mueller looking into President Donald Trump’s businesses and hush money paid to women with whom Trump allegedly had affairs. 

Overall, 69 percent of respondents support Mueller’s investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, 64 percent support his probe of Trump’s business dealings, and 58 percent support his investigation into money paid to silence women about their alleged affairs with Trump.

I think events are entering the next phase. Chuck Todd and his guests said much the same on his show today.

You and the media have been saying that for months.

As for this "overwhelming" support for Mueller's investigation, you may want to look at this:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters still believe Mueller’s investigation is an honest attempt to determine criminal wrongdoing, but that’s down from 52%  last October . Forty percent (40%) now consider Mueller’s probe a partisan witch hunt, an eight-point increase from 32% in the earlier survey. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording,  click here .)

Rassmussen over samples Republicans. When their polls stop being outliers we can take them more seriously.

Nice cherry picked poll. They also predicted Romney would win in a landslide. How about an average of ALL the polls, for a more accurate look? This includes your cherry picked poll. 

42.5%.

But if you want to use cherry picked polls...sure, lets.

IBD/TIPP 1/25 - 2/2 900 A 35 58 -23

35%.

I suspect that many Americans are vaguely aware... or more... that America's fundamental democratic institutions are under attack by this administration. As that perception grows, so does Americans' disquiet, and their desire to first, be sure of the problem, and then do something about it. Meuller is the path to both.

I wouldn't trust a Washington Compost/  A lways  B ack  C linton poll if my life depended on it. I'll go by this one instead where it shows the number of Americans who trust Mueller has dropped to 46%.

So a liberal rag holds a poll of liberals and we are supposed to think that it represents everybody in the country?  LMAO.  Why not use a more respectable source like Rasmussen?

Probably because if you lined up every poll that samples the same information.....Rasmussen, MSN/WSJ, ABC/Washington Post, New York Times, Quinnipeac, Real Clear Average, Monmouth, etc..... the Rasmussen poll is always the outlier. It is the least reliable poll in the entire industry. It may as well be looked at as the official polling arm of Donald Trump and Fox News. They always over represent republicans by a significant percentage. It is only a viable estimate of how an issue shapes up on the right.

Right after MSN/WSJ, ABC/Washington Post, New York Times, Quinnipeac, Real Clear Average, Monmouth, etc...

Rasmussen demonstrated a heavy Republican lean during the 2008, 2010, and 2012 elections.
A lot of this, I suspect, was due to their tendency to conduct their polls over the course of a single evening. This is really bad practice: it means you tend to miss the lower-income working people who tend to vote Democratic. This isn't a problem that can be easily resolved through demographic weighting: the demographic weights tend to be by race, gender, age, geography, and political party, not income. They also use robocalls exclusively, which means that by federal law they cannot contact cellphones and therefore miss the younger, more urban voters who are abandoning land lines. {Mac Tan, Statsheet@Quora.com 7/17/16]

Besides Quora, 538 gives the Rasmussen poll a C- rating which is the lowest of any major polling organization. They talk about the fact that they do robo-calling to only land lines and severely under-represent working people and voters 18-34. They also have the second lowest accuracy rate among major pollsters at 72%.

Real clear politics is an average of ALL the polls, including Rassmussen. See above for the link, trump is at 42.5%, (at this moment). You do know that more data means more accuracy, right?
