The Drudge Report, the prolific news aggregation website ran by Matt Drudge, has a new poll that shows its audience favors firing special counsel Robert Mueller and the results are not even close.
Currently, 266,943 voters support firing Robert Mueller where as 77,000 voters are against his firing. While the poll cannot be counted as a scientific poll of the general public, it is helpful in gauging where President Donald Trump's base and many conservatives stand on the issue.
Drudge's polling in the past was an early indicator of who the GOP Presidential nominee was going to be. For example after a September 2015 GOP primary poll, his audience supported Trump with 61% saying that he won the debate. From The Washington Examiner:
"Donald Trump was by far the favorite choice among readers of the influential Drudge Report after Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate.
Drudge posted a poll at the top of its site at the start of the debate, which was hosted by CNN and lasted three hours, for visitors to vote on "who won."
By the end of the event, Trump, who is number one in the Washington Examiner's presidential power rankings, received 61 percent of votes. At a distant second place with 14 percent was Carly Fiorina. In third, Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul tied with 6 percent.
The poll is not scientific and visitors to the website can vote multiple times. Still, it offers some indication of the popularity for the candidates among a large swath of conservative readers across the country."
Drudge's poll today comes at a time when GOP senators such as Marco Rubio and and Lindsey Graham have condemned the potential firing Robert Mueller.
Will Sessions fire Mueller Tomorrow and cite the online Drudge poll as his justification?
Fire Mueller to the Moon
Don’t fire him, give him two days to close up shop.
Uh huh. Schiff, Mad Maxine, Pelosi, and Schumer would looooove Trump to fire Mueller.
Don’t fire Mueller. Indict him. That’ll light a fire under his ass. Start sucking bucks out of him.
Just so. He’s been doing a great job, and timing it perfectly.
But what do 15 year old high schoolers think? That’s where we find wisdom.
great point
great point
They sure would, but President Trump is not stupid.
Interesting, since Drudge hasn't been a full-throated Trump supporter, to say the least. Thanks Kaslin.
Is Trump trying to get Mueller to make a move(stupid move it would be) ?
“Drudge’s poll today comes at a time when GOP senators such as Marco Rubio and and Lindsey Graham have condemned the potential firing Robert Mueller.”
Yes, because we should really listen to two RINO shills who had their collective asses handed back to them by Now POTUS, and then candidate, Donald Trump.
These two, and plenty of others in the republican party, would having been falling all over each other to sing the praises of a hillary presidency.
These two, and plenty more RINOs, will never get the taste of Obama’s ass out of their mouths.
Drudge poll was near 100% during the primaries when all the so called scientific polls were off by over 15%.
Mueller should be given a mandatory termination date to wind up his multi million dollar boondoggle. This witch hunt is political and in defense of any accountability by the crooked democrats who broke so many laws , they are impossible to innumerate. Its nothing about the Trump Campaign’s collusion or conspiracy with Russia. The president should be allowed to exercise his electoral mandate to govern the country unimpeded by this attempt at a deep state democrat coup.
A second special prosecutor needs to be appointed pursuant to the requests submitted by Gowdy and others , in aid of the DOJ inspector general.
Lotta leftists want him fired, for obvious reasons.
Not shocking when you have Right Leaning population going to Drudge. lol. I hear we perform horribly on Slate.com......ROTFLMAO.
You are still bitter that Murphy lost in Florida. Well buck up...Rubio won and I am thankful. I happily voted for him. I guess you are just pissed that you supported the loser. Sorry. Better luck in 2024.....Ha!
