Three-in-10 Americans say they believe that President Donald Trump did something illegal regarding Russian involvement with his presidential campaign and 31% say he did something illegal regarding payments to two women to keep them from publicizing their alleged affairs before the 2016 election according to a new poll out by Gallup.

A quarter of people say President Trump did something unethical when it comes to Russian meddling in the election. While those who believe he has done something illegal increased since August 2017 (up four percentage points), those who say he's done something unethical has gone down by 10 percentage points. Those who say they don't have an opinion has increased, perhaps a result of President Trump's ongoing attacks on the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller.

Significantly more (37%) say his behavior with regard to the women was unethical, with only 23% who say he did nothing wrong (compared to 35% who say he did nothing wrong on the Russia investigation). The President has denied affairs with the women, but payments to them have been documented and CNN obtained audio of him discussing one payment with his former attorney Michael Cohen....

One-third of Americans were willing to ignore Hillary’s rampant corruption and lawbreaking to vote for her. Same one third as mentioned here. So it doesn’t mean bupkis.

Yup - 2/3 don’t fall for the press. That’s more than I would have expected, considering the non-stop smear campaign.

"...That means two thirds are correct..."

I love what you did there...:)

I wanted to say one third are ignoramuses who swallow, hook, line, and sinker what the hostile Leftist media feeds them...not as elegant a response...

Did they bother to ask what law? Or did they even mention the fact that collusion, were it to have taken place, is not a violation of law?

About the same percentage believed 9/11 was an inside job.

I just passed this article through the nonsense translator. The results :

Less than 1/3 of the country are idiots and that scares CNN, so they have to publish poll numbers where a little over a third of the people are buying into their nonstop lies. Bottom line is that we here at CNN are terrified that our propaganda is starting to fail, but we will never admit that, so we are going to start making existing stories sound scarier.

I reckon 1/3 believe in space aliens. That’s a pretty easy threshold to reach.

Well, fire has never melted steel, right?

https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a6384/debunking-911-myths-world-trade-center/

FACT: Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn't need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength—and that required exposure to much less heat. "I have never seen melted steel in a building fire," says retired New York deputy fire chief Vincent Dunn, author of The Collapse Of Burning Buildings: A Guide To Fireground Safety. "But I've seen a lot of twisted, warped, bent and sagging steel. What happens is that the steel tries to expand at both ends, but when it can no longer expand, it sags and the surrounding concrete cracks."
