Poll: Only 29 Percent of Americans Say Mueller Report Clears Trump
Peter Wade, Rolling Stone Sun, Mar 31 2:28 PM EDT
SInce the release of Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the Mueller report, President Donald Trump has been telling anyone and everyone who would listen that he has been completely cleared of any wrongdoing. Trump claimed the report was a “complete and total exoneration” of him and has stated several times that the report has concluded that, “There was no collusion with Russia. There was no obstruction, none whatsoever.” He added that the probe, which he says has cleared him, was “an illegal takedown that failed.”
Of course the report, which no one but Barr has access to, concluded no such thing, and it appears as though most Americans understand that. According to a new poll from NBC News/ Wall Street Journal , only “29 percent of Americans say they believe Trump has been cleared of wrongdoing.” And 31 percent say they’re not sure.
Not surprisingly, only 39 percent admit knowing “a lot” about news of the report’s findings, although most Americans say they have heard about Mueller’s investigation coming to a close.
The poll also showed that Trump’s approval rating has ticked down a bit since February, from 46 percent to 43 percent but that is within the margin of error.

Then what in the Hell is wrong thse 29% of Americans? Fox News Rots Brains...
I think an excellent follow up question to those 29% would be, "how many of you have seen the Mueller report"?
What the hell is wrong with people who can't understand simple two phrases like "No Collusion"? I'd say CNN makes people lose basic comprehension skills.
When spoken by someone like Barr? They understand the words, they just don't believe them.
Someone like Barr? You mean the former AG for H W Bush? The guy who is about as establishment as you can get? I doubt he has much interest sticking his neck out for Trump. He's just today's target for left wing frustration. They'll be moving on to someone else soon enough.
Yes, him.
Is that why he provided the unsolicited paper about Trump not being able to commit obstruction? To communicate his unwillingness to stick his neck out for Trump in exchange for the power of the AG?
I find it odd that Trump would pick Barr, (from his own statements), an obvious trump supporter. Why would Trump pick someone so obviously in his own corner? If trump truly had nothing to fear, he could have picked a dem and let the facts play out? I mean, clearly Mueller isn't the partisan hack the right played him out to be, yes?
You did get that the POTUS picks out his own AG, right? Why in the world would Trump pick a Dem? Obama certainly picked out his own self described wingman Holder and then Lynch, who had her infamous tarmac meeting. And the facts did play out. The left didn't like them so now they're just playing games and throwing a fit.
Barr can solicit anything he wants and he is in good company with his opinion:
He can write any commentary he wants, but that has nothing to do with the comment string that I responded to.
That number will probably double once the legal version of the report comes out and the Dems come out looking like fools again.
Why is the legal version being blocked by the right?
The legal version is the redacted one that Barr is working on right now. The illegal version would be the unredacted one Nadler prepared his subpoena for, which he hasn't even bothered to actually issue because he knows it is a stunt.

Have another Doobie !
And they say "Mary Jane" is Safe...…. Pfffft !
Perhaps it is just myself, but I do not see how anyone (other than the handful that have actually seen the complete report) can form a conclusion regarding the report until one has actually read it.
I believe we all have our own notions as to what may be in the report (just turn on the news), but until the report is released (at least to Congress, then those blabber mouths will give us their spin) it is mere mental masturbation.
Exactly. Nobody in here knows enough to have a valid opinion - but that doesn't seem to stop most people from forming one anyway
