Spying On Trump: Americans overwhelmingly believe the Obama administration "improperly surveilled" Donald Trump's presidential campaign, and a majority say they would like to see a special prosecutor appointed to look into possible misconduct by the FBI and Department of Justice in spying on Trump, the latest IBD/TIPP poll shows.
One fact emerges from the poll of 900 people conducted from Jan. 25 to Feb. 2: The public doesn't necessarily buy into the Democratic narrative that the Trump campaign "colluded" with Russia to tamper with the 2016 presidential election.
The poll also suggests that many Americans think the roots of the allegations made against Trump extend beyond the two major party campaigns in the last presidential election and deep into the Obama era's intelligence and law enforcement bureaucracies, and may involve active political bias on the part of supposedly nonpartisan employees of both the Justice Department and FBI.
In the IBD/TIPP survey of public opinion, we asked respondents "How closely are you following news stories about the role played by the FBI and the Department of Justice during the 2016 presidential election?" Of those who responded, 72% said they were following the story either "very closely" (39%) or "somewhat closely" (33%). Our responses were taken only from those who were following the story closely.
Some 55% of those said it was "likely" that the Obama administration "improperly surveilled the Trump campaign during the 2016 election." There was an obvious partisan split among the responses, with 87% of Republicans and 55% of independents saying the improper spying took place, but only 31% of Democrats.

Trump was right…again. When he said Obama was spying on him in Trump Tower, every Democrat media outlet shrieked in outrage. Satan always howls at the truth.
Kinda like a soap opera mini-series they were allowing to go on under their watch.
Dems are paying attention. But they believe the end justifies the means. Trump must go because he wasn’t legally elected.
The fact the deep state us willing to do anything proves how dirty they are.
Watergate on steroids.
Except this time the MSM is on the side of the bad guys.
The news is that nearly one third of Democrats think Obama did this.
And the prosecutions will flow down from who at the DOJ?
Sessions is recused on all matters related to Hillary. And Rosenstein can't do it because he's one of the people who needs to be prosecuted.
The stunner here is that 31 percent of Democrats admit it.
Finally! I have been saying for months: What did the President know and when did he know it?
I'd bet France would lend us some guillotines.
don’t think Rudy is up to the job. We need a trusted younger person, like Tom Fitton or one of the others who are suing the $hit out of the the DOJ and FBI to get FOIA info. We don’t need another Jeff Sessions!
Thanks, Vette. Fitton is an excellent choice.
This stuff’s going radioactive.
Major fail for media propaganda mill. This must really roast them.
p
Many of them are still around, left after Reagan and went back to the real world!
Plus, they’re not trying to suck up to the Bush’s, Clinton’s, Obama nor Trump.
Just a bunch of law and order, crime fighters!
President Trump being proven right again.
Get Joe DiGenova.
This guy is the real deal and takes no prisoners.
Unfortunately, nothing can be done.
Very simple. GOP won’t support Trump, won’t fight for Trump’s agenda.
I was shocked that a SC wasn’t immediately set up, right after the Nunes memo release.
What does it take to get this SC or Grand Jury convened, NOW??
(Sessions, paging AG Sessions.)
It depends on what the word “smidgen” means....right Barry?
