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.
76+% favor firing Mueller. He is wasting lots of our money.
And most Freepers gave up on drudge after his gay tantrum.
sheesh Give him a deadline at least. 4/30 sounds about right 6 weeks to wrap it up enough already.
Virtually everything is slanted against Trump. We need to defuse things as much as possible for the mid-terms. The 18th district loss in Pa was bad given a Democrat got elected by appearing to be a moderate in an overwhelmingly Republican district.
Comey was fired. McCabe was fired which seems to be based on an IG report. The latest is there are multiple IG reports coming. Both Comey and McCabe and others may be facing indictment. The Democrats are running scared. Let the IG do his work. So far so good. Trump can stay out of it and let the DOJ flush out the FBI. I expect the IG will also nail Rosenstein. It’s not the time to throw fuel on the fire by firing Mueller. That may give the Democrats the impetus they need to take the Senate and House in the midterms. Then Trump’s impeachment is guaranteed.
Give Mueller enough rope and eventually he will hang himself.
Theory: This is Drudge acting on behalf of his leftist blackmailers to run a meaningless poll of his remaining right-leaning audience, and bait Trump into firing Mueller.
Trump won’t fall for it, until Mueller’s indicted.
Obersturmbannfuher Mueller
Jawold .......
The correct word is Jawohl pronounced like Yawohl.
Same here..
and My Apple Mac was just cleaned and updated.
told me Drudge is virus infected site.
So I will not get to add my vote for DJT...
And I will do the same and follow immediately in your footsteps.
>>Don’t fire Mueller. Indict him. That’ll light a fire under his ass. Start sucking bucks out of him.<<
YES! I suggested the very same thing a day or two ago because I believe he has been complicit for years in Deep State violations of federal law. My radar tells me he’s a card-carrying member of that criminal cabal.
>>These two, and plenty more RINOs, will never get the taste of Obama’s ass out of their mouths.<<
Perfect characterization of little Marco, Linda and the other despicable RINOs, including Mule-face Mueller.
