Perhaps when your campaign Manager and Personal Lawyer are headed to jail, people tend to rethink their appraisal of you?
New USAToday/Suffolk University Poll out today is ALL good.
Even impeachment is 44% yes, 47% no.
I’m sorry, did I say the “I” word out loud? Yes. I did.
Is Trump fatigue finally setting in?
The poll of 1,000 registered voters was taken Thursday through Tuesday, after former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance law and other charges and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was convicted of tax evasion and financial crimes.
55% say they have a lot or some trust in Mueller's investigation to be fair and accurate. 35% say they have a lot or some trust in Trump's denials of collusion.
By 63% to 27%, those polled say Trump should agree to be interviewed by Mueller. That includes nearly a third of Republicans.
Fewer than one in four of those surveyed, 23 percent, say Trump has delivered on his campaign promise to "drain the swamp" in Washington.
A 57 percent majority, including nearly one in five Republicans, say "the swamp" has gotten worse during his administration.
While nearly 6 in 10 say the economy is in a recovery, only 1/3 say the country is headed in the right direction.
And for your enjoyment, just a few of the “comments” from those who took the poll:
"It's ludicrous that Trump continues to write the tweets that question Mueller's integrity," says Richard Dean, 71, a political independent. The retired engineer from Gadsden, Alabama, was among those called in the poll.
"From everything I've read, they've proven that there were certainly Russian meddling and hacking and hacking attempts, and why Trump won't admit that is ridiculous," Dean says. "In my mind, I suspect and I think they're about to prove that there was certainly collusion."
"The man stood up in front of the entire world and said to the Russian government, to Putin, that he should look into Hillary Clinton's email," says Bonni Davis, 61, an attorney from New York City who is a Democrat. At a campaign news conference July 27, 2016, Trump encouraged "Russia, if you're listening," to try to find missing Clinton emails; an indictment released last month by the special counsel reported that Russian officials began to target Clinton-related email accounts "on or around" that same day.
In Davis' view, there is enough evidence for Congress to act. "That was beyond disgraceful," she says. "The fact that Russia meddled is beyond question. The fact that Trump supported Putin is beyond question, and that's not appropriate behavior for a president." She calls his actions "a threat to our democracy."
"Mueller needs to finish his investigation, and whatever he finds, the public should be made aware and then make the decision from there," says Keith Walker, 59, a political independent and retired educator from Dover, Delaware.
"It's solid evidence of the person he is and the people he's surrounded himself with," says Benjamin Jones, 21, an independent who works in retail sales in Queens, New York. "This is real evidence that he is scandalous."
