Nearly a third of Americans say Trump acted illegally during the 2016 campaign

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....

And CNN will run with this report constantly, never accepting that it means only a minority of Americans believe the constant Dem propaganda put out by CNN.

How sweet it is to watch them circle the toilet, clutching at every turd, to keep from drowning.

[Red Badger]

So 66% think he’s great!.................

[Rurudyne]

And the joke is the exact same third will isnsist that Hillary didn’t, never did, and never would.

[Right Wing Assault]

Bad thing that the propaganda machine is somewhat successful.

Good thing that some dems actually don't believe their party's Russian hoax.

[Windflier]

Thirty percent?

I'd say that breaks down like this:

21% Hard core left
5% Clueless Dems
+4% NeverTrumpers
30% Dummies

[rktman]

MORE than two thirds since it was only NEARLY one third think he acted illegaly. Funny how they headline stuff huh?

[butlerweave]

Only a third of the 9 people that watch CNN ?

[Rodm]

that’s about right 1/3 or the populate are drunks, pot-heads, mentally ill and socialists. Was that redundant?

[Stevenc131]

So, only 30% think he did something illegal in the 2016 campaign, and only 31% think he did something illegal in payments to women. That’s got to be REALLY disappointing to liberals, so CNN spins it as ‘almost one third’, ignoring the fact the vast majority did not say he took part in anything illegal. Fake news, again.

[cuban leaf]

Yep. It’s not like he won 66% of the popular vote. ;-)

[Trump.Deplorable]

1/3rd is the best they can come up with

1/3rd are rabid idiot democrats

This is nothing new

In fact, this is good news for Trump

[Harpotoo]

More than 2/3rds say he didn’t:-)

[Bubba_Leroy]

Unfortunately, approximately 40% of Americans are stupid and will oppose anyone who runs for any office as a Republican. This is the hard core Kool-Aid drinkng democrat base.

[cuban leaf]

Significantly more (37%) say his behavior with regard to the women was unethical...
———————————————————I would say that most people that voted for trump would say that.

Man, these guys just can’t seem to change songs Their iPod is looping through the same one over and over.

[Gargantua]

I suppose even the dullest of minds has some genius for belaboring the obvious. The author may as well have said, "People breathe air."

Dawn breaks over Marblehead. LOL

[rockinqsranch]

Too bad we don’t have a free press. People could then know the truth.

More than 2/3 actually.

If this were about a non-Republican labeled Deep State Approved (TM) politician, the article would lead off with “More than 2/3 of voters do NOT think ... “.

Since it’s Trump, they lead off with “Thirty Percent do think” instead of the “Less than one third” or “Seventy percent do not think ... “ or “An overwhelming number of people do NOT think ...” lead ins reserved for the Deep State Approved Democrats.

Gotta love these media fruit loops .... what’s disgusting is that they have to be having conversations with peers about ways of writing articles about Trump to make him look bad to the public ... they’re either so stupid that they’re not aware they’re writing propaganda article -OR- they know exactly what they’re doing and are scumbags. I’m sure most are of the latter.

"A majority of voters believe Hillary Clinton has done something illegal, according to a new McClatchy-Marist Poll days before the presidential election.

A total of 83 percent of likely voters believe that Clinton did something wrong – 51 percent saying she did something illegal and 32 percent saying she something unethical but not illegal. Just 14 percent said she’s done nothing wrong."

Majority of voters think Clinton acted illegally, new poll finds

I am willing to bet that Hillary's numbers have not improved since then.
