A quarter of respondents in a Post-ABC poll say they now see Trump more negatively.
President Trump speaks at the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum in Indianapolis. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 26 at 4:39 PM There is at least one point on which a majority of Americans agree as it relates to the recently completed investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
Trump’s answer to both of those questions is succinct: no collusion and no obstruction. The report, he said, after Attorney General William P. Barr released a summary of Mueller’s findings, was a complete exoneration of him and his campaign. But Mueller didn’t determine that there was no collusion, specifically sidestepping that term. Nor did he clear Trump on obstruction, explicitly declaring that the evidence didn’t amount to exoneration on that point.
Even among those who said they approved of Trump’s job performance, 15 percent said that the Mueller report didn’t completely clear the president. In a separate question, Americans were split on whether Trump interfered with the investigation in a way that constituted obstruction of justice. Most of those who thought he had obstructed justice supported beginning an impeachment process.
It’s worth noting, though, that a lot of people — about a third — did say their minds were changed. About a quarter of Republicans said that it made them view the administration more favorably. Four in 10 Democrats said it made them see the administration more negatively. Interestingly, 9 percent of Republicans said the same thing: that the report gave them a more negative view of Trump.
