In new poll most don't know Obama, Biden had role in overseeing FBI probe of Trump campaign

Poll numbers show that the latest information on the investigations has not penetrated the public discussion,' says pollster Rasmussen.

Most information on the investigations has not penetrated the public discussion,' says pollster Rasmussen.

Most voters don't know evidence shows that Barack Obama and Joe Biden when in the White House were involved in managing the FBI investigation of the Trump 2016 campaign, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

As Just the News reported last month, the belated discovery of disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok’s January 2017 notes suggests then-Vice President Biden raised the issue of using the Logan Act — an obscure, centuries-old law — as a possible avenue for continuing to investigate Michael Flynn.

Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, was a campaign surrogate, then became President Trump's national security adviser. Flynn agreed to plead guilty in the FBI's probe into whether the campaign colluded with Russia. But evidence showing the mishandling of the probe recently led the Justice Department to move to drop the case.

Biden once claimed he had no knowledge of the Flynn probe.

And Strzok appears to quote Obama as suggesting the FBI assign “the right people” to pursue the case, according to recently released Strzok notes.

The new Rasmussen poll shows a plurality of U.S. voters (38%) don’t know whether the statement is true or false and the rest are evenly divided.

"Poll numbers show that the latest information on the investigations has not penetrated the public discussion," said Rasmussen, a veteran pollster. "Naturally, there is a partisan tone to the results. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Republicans believe it’s true while 56% of Democrats don’t."

Just the News Daily Poll respondents were asked “Is the following statement true or false: New evidence shows that Barack Obama and Joe Biden were directly involved in ordering and overseeing the FBI's investigation of Donald Trump's presidential campaign." They responded as below:

32% True 30% False 38% Not Sure The national survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted June 25-27, 2020 by Rasmussen, a polling veteran. Margin of sampling error: +/- 2.8% for full sample.

They know. Dems don’t want to admit they know. They pretend not to know so they can muster the nerve to vote for their pre-selected establishment creep.

The Ministry of Propaganda, with their 90% saturation, has done a good job of keeping the citizens in the dark.

"most don't know Obama, Biden had role in overseeing FBI probe of Trump campaign"

The BLM "crisis" and riots have been playing through the megaphone of the MSM ever since those facts officially came out (not coincidently, I'm sure).

Time to change that situation!

Unfortunately, this scandal is too difficult to follow for the average American.

An intern having an affair with the president in the Oval Office and saving a blue dress or a Supreme Court Justice nominee assaulting a fellow student in a bedroom at a keggar are much easier to follow and much more sexy.

I didn’t know that either. I thought it was Clinton. After all, didn’t she finance the Russian Hoax?

If the mainstream media doesn’t say it, it didn’t happen!

That meeting on the 5th pretty much says it....and Biden’s input is the clincher.

If viewers do not get Fox or another news network that is conservative... how would they know?

I object that Fox has .. from the beginning.. only on cable or such.. and if they watch the local news. they are not getting anything that is going on. all they hear is HATE Trump..

When a hater on places like twitter.... argues the stuff they hear here and there.. no truth to their words.. and too lazy to do research... when they go on about how they don’t like Trump.... please ask them where do they get their “wisdom” on what they know. Where do they get the hate and do they have any idea what all Trump has done.. compared to obama, biden or any democrat.

I’m guessing you all have heard Leo Terrell lately.. do you know what turned him in the opposition direction? i mean, there have been other good reasons... why now? it’s good news but how did it happen? He is telling the black people “do not vote for biden”.... and that leaves only one other to vote for....

The democrat party has taken a fatal directional turn.... but the voters have to know what is going on.... or they will vote in socialism. the democrat party went the way of aoc... but they were headed there anyway.. just went faster. it’s a sorry party and not fit to represent the people of this country.. those who are in for a takeover... need to be sent to an island or jailed for life...

I repeat what happened to the Shah of Iran when he ousted the man who tried to overthrow him... that man came back with his henchmen and the Shah escaped out of Iran... it would have been safer to have executed the treasonous man. I guess we don’t do that here... We are too educated and refined to kill our enemies.

Obviously, that includes most Republicans in Congress. Lindsay Graham does not know it, yet. He keeps threatening hearings to find out if it is true.

I am convinced that all the craziness going on around our country is lead by obama.
