A majority of Americans say special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia is fair and should continue without interference, a Marist College poll reports.
The poll, released Friday, finds that just more than half of those surveyed, 53 percent, say that the special counsel probe is a "fair" investigation into Trump's campaign, while 28 percent say it is "unfair." This marks an increase from 48 percent who said the investigation was "fair" in the same poll last month.
In addition, respondents said they are more likely to trust Mueller than Trump. Given an option between the two, 55 percent said they would believe Mueller over Trump, compared to 30 percent that said the reverse.
Most Americans still have a positive view of the FBI despite weeks of attacks from Trump and congressional Republicans over the bureau's handling of both the Russia investigation and the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server, the poll finds.
You might think this would be obvious.
I mean of course more people trust Robert Mueller over Donald Trump. Right?
But keep in mind that the entire Devin Nunes, Republican attack, Fox News propaganda machine is all about destroying Mueller's reputation and undermining his investigation.
So the fact that all of that has only increased confidence in Robert Mueller and his investigation is good news indeed.
Hopefully that will continue to be the case.
