The latest Post-ABC poll shows that Robert S. Mueller III, for now, enjoys overwhelming support for his investigation. He also gets high marks for the indictments of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and adviser Rick Gates. And in even worse news for President Trump, nearly half (49 percent) of Americans surveyed think he committed a crime.
Mueller receives 58 percent approval and only 28 percent disapproval from Americans.
By a margin of 51 percent to 37 percent, Americans do not think Trump is cooperating with the investigation. Even among Republicans (57 percent to 21 percent), voters strongly approve (69 percent to 17 percent) of the indictments for Manafort and Gates.
Trumps fate then is largely out of his hands. Whatever Mueller finds is likely to carry a great deal of weight with voters (and in turn, with Congress). Trumps sometimes comical effort to make all of this into a scandal about Hillary Clinton predictably has been a colossal failure. He provides talking points and programming ideas for Fox News, but to little effect. The regurgitated non-scandals about Clintons reportedly nonexistent involvement with the Uranium One deal and her campaigns payment for the dossier matter not one bit to Mueller or, it turns out, much at all to voters.
Trump has finally run into someone he cannot insult or intimidate and whose findings could well doom his presidency and ensnare his closest advisers and even family members. If not for the firing of former FBI director James B. Comey, none of this was likely to come to pass. Trump might want to blame those who goaded him on (e.g., Jared Kushner), but the decision was his alone. No wonder he fumes and rages.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Oh they keep on hoping don’t they?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........
Just making it up as they go along ..
WashPost poll? How is Pres Hillary enjoying her landslide electoral win?!!!!
Once again, I wasn’t asked.
Myopic ramblings.
Invent-a-poll!
The poll must have been taken in DC and in Obamas bath house in SF.
The Compost and Jennifer Rubin = No credibility
Can we see an MSNBC poll too? I need some more “preach to the choir” type results
It’s like they think Manafort didn’t exist prior to Trump’s campaign.
And it’s quite obvious the author hasn’t actually read the indictment. Once upon a time, journalists actually had to do research before writing, so they’d at least be able to get the basic facts of the story correct.
Polls are not designed to measure public opinion, they are designed to shape public opinion. This is stooopid.
“Public”?
Or the Swamp creatures?
Push polling huh?
Well, I invite you to GFY...
So is the the stupidity.
And what will they think when Mueller folds his tent without a whiff of an indictment against Trump?
A WaPo poll? So only liberals were asked...
Sure Jennifer.
Take another sip...
5.56mm
Ms. Rubin must believe conservatives/GOP are stupid.....POTUS is cooperating fully in-spite of a very hostile Muller and all the MSM spewing misinformation 24/7.
For those who want open borders, light vetting of legal immigrants, illegal felons who think it is their right to be here.....ect.
>>And in even worse news for President Trump, nearly half (49 percent) of Americans surveyed think he committed a crime.
Actually, that’s not true since Progressives are not really Americans. They inhabit the nation, but have primary allegiance to some Third World country/continent/tribe or the generic world. That same 49% think he is Hitler, Emperor Palpatine, Lex Luthor, the Antichrist, not an actual human, racist, sexist, homophobe, dog hater, and person who parks in pregnant women parking spaces.
