Trump's approval climbed three points after the report, despite 60% of respondents saying the president did not tell the truth about Russia.
WASHINGTON – Special counsel Robert Mueller's long-awaited report from his two-year investigation into a potential conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government does not appear to have moved the needle much with voters.
The report"has done very little to shake Americans out of their partisan viewpoints," Republican pollster Micah Roberts, who helped conduct the survey, told NBC News. "The Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts," Mueller said. But he"did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated" with the Russians.
The number of voters for and against impeachment also appeared unchanged by the report. In March, 16% of voters said Congress has enough evidence to begin impeachment proceedings, 33% said Congress should continue investigating and 47% said Congress should let the president finish his term. After the report, those numbers were 17%, 32% and 48%.
But Biden's overall favorables were better than Trump's, who generated more unfavorable responses from voters than Biden.
