Plurality Now Believes Trump Guilty Of Collusion/Obstruction

Posted on the 23 December 2018 by Jobsanger


Donald Trump has raged for months against the Mueller investigation (which is investigating him for collusion, obstruction, and other possible crimes). He has called it a witch hunt and a fake investigation motivated by politics. But his denials seem to be falling on deaf ears.
Even before Mueller submits the results of his investigation, a significant plurality of American voters believe Trump is probably guilty. By a 9 point margin (45% to 36%), they believe the Trump campaign did collude with Russia to affect the outcome of the 2016 election. And by an even bigger 15 point margin (48% to 33%), they believe Trump did act to obstruct the investigation.
The charts above use information in a recent Politico / Morning Consult Poll -- done between December 14th and 16th of a national sample of 1,994 registered voters, with a 2 point margin of error.
