49 percent of Americans think Trump likely committed a crime (POLL)
AB "News" ^ | November 2, 2017 | By GARY LANGER

Posted on 11/02/2017 3:13:09 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

About half the respondents in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll suspect that President Donald Trump broke the law during the presidential campaign, and just 3 in 10 Americans surveyed think that alleged wrongdoing ends with those who were charged this week by the special counsel.

The poll finds substantial support for the investigation, with 58 percent approving of how special counsel Robert Mueller is handling it, and more — 68 percent — approving of the filing of federal charges against Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and one of his associates.

METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Oct. 30-Nov. 1, 2017, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 714 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 4 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 32-23-38 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

32. Do you think it’s likely or unlikely that Trump himself committed a crime in connection with possible Russian attempts to influence the election? (IF LIKELY) Do you think there’s been solid evidence of that, or is it your suspicion only?

Likely

NET - 49%
Solid evidence - 19%
Suspicion only - 30%

Unlikely - 44%
No opinion - 7%

More phony headlines to distract from the fact that Hillary cheated to win the nomination.

About the same as the popular vote, and (like that) it means nothing.

Ah, another means of identifying those to the left side if the Bell curve in far shorter time than requiring a full blown IQ test.

It looks to me like 51% either believe it's unlikely or have no opinion. So I wonder why the Post would present it as accusatory rather than exculpatory ...

Yeah, I wonder ...

This ABC News/Washington Post poll...

These people could get 49% of people in a poll to say that President Trump is a space alien. Well, if most of the respondents were from the coasts, more like 98%.

In other words, big whoop!

So, how many of ‘em were told that Manafort was indicted for stuff he did while working for the Democrats?

Yep, start a poll and stuff it with Dem’s until you get numbers you want.

More TOTAL BS from CNN, ABC, CBS....

How about this:

Do you think it’s likely or unlikely that Clinton herself committed a crime in connection with possible Russian attempts to influence the election?

Yes. 100%
Solid evidence - 100%
Suspicion only - 0%

Got my numbers down just about right!!!

“The ol’ court of public opinion.”

Not even - these are push polls intended to bolster an agenda. They are to be dismissed at first sight.

If Donald Trump had ever committed a crime in his entire life we would know about it and they would have propagandize it to the point where hillary would be in the White House right now

This is the best they can do

She must be really incredulous that anyone can be so honest. But he is honest
