Only 4 in 10 Republicans say that an influence effort occurred.
President Trump speaks at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 1 at 1:58 PM President Trump’s insistence that he has been exonerated by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign began hours after Attorney General William P. Barr released a letter outlining what Mueller found.
Again, it’s very safe to assume that no one with whom our pollsters talked has actually read Mueller’s report. Many respondents were probably learning about the discrepancy between what Mueller said and what Trump said Mueller said in the wording of the poll question itself. And two-thirds of Republicans said that Trump’s summary of Mueller’s findings was more accurate than Mueller’s summary of Mueller’s findings.
A bare majority of Republicans told our pollsters that they don’t think Russia even tried to interfere in the campaign. Trump has repeatedly waved away the idea that Russia wanted to intervene in the election on his behalf and the idea that Russia was necessarily involved in the hacking. For every time he has seemed to forcefully acknowledge Russia’s apparent role, he has cast doubt on the subject.
