As the debate over Russian hacking efforts during the presidential campaign continues, voters here generally approve of the job U.S. intelligence agencies are doing but also suspect that they play politics.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters believe America’s intelligence agencies have their own political agenda. Thirty-nine percent (39%) disagree and think they generally perform impartially. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided.

Trump will need clean house and restore integrity to the intelligence agencies.
Removal of the head of the snake should do the job.
This will make Linda Graham very unhappy.
How is it that the voters know what the intelligence agencies are doing? I thought it was supposed ot be secret?
“Removal of the head of the snake should do the job.”
The head of an agency puts into place people under him who support his agenda. Once this has been done whatever evil the head wanted becomes a core value of the agency. You would need to remove the head and everybody the head hired, which is probably impossible if they are Civil Service.
The 2013 report, declassified last fall, concludes that McCone, who ran the spy agency when Kennedy was fatally shot in November 1963, kept information from the Warren Commission during its investigation into the assassination.
The report’s author, CIA historian David Robarge, writes that McCone and other top CIA officials were part of a "benign cover-up" to keep the commission focused on what the agency believed at the time was the "best truth … that Lee Harvey Oswald, for as yet undetermined motives, had acted alone," according to Politico Magazine.
The current intelligence chiefs were all appointed by 0bama, which automatically makes them untrustworthy to a lot of people.
We’ve known about Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Iranian and a host of other hackers for years, and nothing much has been done or reported about them. Just a couple of years ago China hacked the Office of Personnel Management, and got the records of about 24 MILLION current and past federal employees. Were any Chinese diplomats expelled? Reports of Russian hacking was pretty much brushed off, until Clinton lost, then it becomes a big deal. How is that not political?
Like when they assisted the Ukrainian opposition, which was pro-U.S., stage a coup against the democratically-elected leader who was pro-Moscow? In the middle of the Sochi Olympics when Putin was welcoming the world to the Olympics and could not respond during games of peace? I don’t care either way about the Ukraine but don’t drag the U.S. into a war over it.
We need a new federal building in Antarctica. To my knowledge, nothing prohibits management-directed reassignment.
All 17 intelligence agencies were polled.
Wait, which head was it again?
How can the neocons start a war at the drop of a hat if Americans don’t trust the “intelligence” agencies?
Maybe the problem is that Americans haven’t heard about the RUSSIAN HACKING OF THE ELECTION!
Indeed we do. In fact, I don’t believe anything they say about anything, and that goes for the entire government, not just “intelligence”.
Yep, President Trump can have the CIA and NSA he wants, there are ways.
They didn't win like they thought they were going to, they really thought that they were in the hay with Hillary, the worst candidate ever besides Barky and now that they have all this stuff coming out about them and their corruption and could go to prison for treason, they are filling the ‘depends’ every second...
Now you know what it feels like to have ‘the boot on the back of your neck’ and I hope everyone of them are sitting in the gutters along with the rest of the garbage before this is all over!!!
Well, they’ve missed a few things: the Pearl Harbor attack, building of the Berlin Wall, collapse of the Soviet Union, the 9/11 attacks, Benghazi, Russian invasion of the Crimea, the rise of ISIS, the “lone wolf” terror attacks in Boston and San Bernadino, and the the people of the US rebelling against the establishment in this election. How could anyone overlook these glaring failures of our SIXTEEN intel agencies???
The CIA has to be dismantled. Whoever leaked secret information to NBC (and others) has to be discovered and prosecuted. If DJT doesn't start there, that DC swamp will NEVER be drained, and the war-mongering to the benefit of Saudi Arabia and other global players will never end.
This is not "conspiracy theory". It's connecting the dots.
And yet another crazy conspiracy theory finally becomes widely accepted into the conventional wisdom.
What a coincidence! 39% thinks SCOTUS performs impartially too!
I’ve thought that the “intelligence community” — the CIA (a/k/a the C-Y-A) in particular — has played politics for decades. They were playing politics back in the 1980s. It does need to be gutted and rebuilt.
