POLL: Majority of Trump voters would support him even if he colluded with Russia

Source: Business Insider


<snip>


A majority of President Donald Trump's voters surveyed by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) believe he should continue to serve as president even if it's proven that he conspired with Russia to sway the 2016 election.

Just 14% of Trump voters said he should resign in the event that special counsel Robert Mueller or the congressional intelligence committees find that he colluded with Russia. On the other hand, 77% of Trump voters believe he should remain in office if the collusion claims are proven true. When Democrats and independent voters were factored into the results, 37% of respondents said they believed Trump should stay in office if he colluded with Russia.

The survey also found that 52% of respondents believe members of Trump's campaign team worked with Russia to help him clinch the presidency. The results were split along partisan lines: while 86% of those who voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton believe the Trump-Russia allegations, just 13% of Trump voters do.

These polls come as special counsel Robert Mueller continues the FBI investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election, including whether members of Trump's campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the election in his favor. Mueller is also looking into whether Trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired FBI director James Comey in May.

More Joy Reid Retweeted Rep. Joe Kennedy III

The consequences of elections can be grave, America. Voting to “shake things up” or “send an outsider to Washington” or going third party to “send a message” can mean literal life, death or suffering for lots of people. This mess was made by voters, non-voters, cruelty and greed.
