Poll: Voters grow weary of Russia probes

A majority of voters believe the Russia investigations are damaging to the country and are eager to see Congress shift its focus to healthcare, terrorism, national security, the economy and jobs.

Those are the findings of the latest Harvard-Harris Poll survey, provided exclusively to The Hill, which paints a complicated picture of voters’ opinions about the numerous probes that have engulfed the White House.

Sixty-four percent of voters said the investigations into President Trump and Russia are hurting the country. Fifty-six percent of voters said it’s time for Congress and the media to move on to other issues, compared to 44 percent who said the focus should stay on Russia.

But other surveys have found strong support for the special counsel investigating the Russia probe. A Harvard-Harris survey released last month found 75 percent support for former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s investigation.

There is evidence in the Harvard-Harris survey that voters are taking the investigations seriously: Fifty-eight percent say they’re concerned by allegations of obstruction of justice against Trump, with the same number worried about possible dealings between Trump and the Russian government.

Poll: Voters grow weary of FAKE NEWS Russia probes

I’m not weary.

I love waking up everyday to see just how much deeper the hole the left is digging is.

Actually, I’m impressed with scope of the excavation.

“Fifty-six percent of voters said it’s time for Congress and the media to move on to other issues”

Yes, indeed. How about focusing on taxes, healthcare, government budgets?

[Lexington Green]

Every day in every way, the press destroys their own credibility.

They are now in sedition, actively trying to take down a duly elected POTUS.

[LostPassword]

If I know Dems, they have a solution: “more investigations!”.

Please don’t let Pelosi go. She knows how to read public sentiment like no one else I’ve ever seen. And she can keep Ds in congress focused on what really matters like “more investigations”.

How can people support Mueller’s investigation, when he won’t tell us what he is investigating?

[billyboy15]

This is reported by the Hill. We know the Hill is very liberal. Therefore this poll was taken for the express purpose of having the results we are now seeing. Why is this? Simple it now gives the Democrats reason to drop this investigation into Russia which even they know is going nowhere, but they were afraid to do it because they’re terrified of their own base.

Now they can point to this poll and explain to them we have no choice, we have to move on because the American people don’t want any part of this investigation any longer.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

James Comey has already destroyed himself, and his lock-step buddy, Robert Mueller is on a fast track to do exactly the same to himself. The vast majority of the American people did not believe one word uttered by Comey, the Democrats and the mainstream media!!!

Game over, Mueller...pack your liberal bags, deadbeat, and, go home to your Democrat Party vermin friends!!!

There is more evidence Moses talked to a Burning Bush, than there is that Trump colluded with Russia to win the elections

It's just a scam to get a few hundred of his best lawyer pals on the federal teat at $1,200 an hour.

“Fifty-six percent of voters said it’s time for Congress and the media to move on to other issues”

Like Obama being very flexible with the Russians and trying to get them to hack the Election for the Democrats ,LOL

[Cboldt]

Just in time to avoid the reveal that the entire exercise was a Chines Firedrill built on a hoax perpetrated by the IC, and enabled by Congress.

[gunsequalfreedom]

I want jobs and a good economy, not this Russian thing. This Russian thing is not going to make any difference. Total waste and distracting from jobs and the economy.

Good analysis. Also, perhaps, Hill knows this is a loser, & there won’t be a Dem Party left if they don’t stop this.

[Nero Germanicus]

Special Counsel Robert Mueller was hired by and works for the Trump Administration’s Justice Department. Attorney General Sessions can fire Mueller.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is chaired by Senator Richard Burr, Republican of North Carolina.
The House Intelligence Committee is chaired by Congressman Devin Nunez, Republican of California.
The House Oversight Committee is chaired by Congressman Trey Gowdy, Republican of Florida. Mr. Gowdy just shut down their investigation.

Democrats have no power to conduct investigations they are the minority party.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

You have to wonder how Russians feel about being blamed by the Democrats for Hillary’s loss and everything else that has gone wrong for the Democrats.
