Most Americans think President Donald Trump has tried to impede or obstruct the investigation on whether his campaign had ties to Russia, according to a new AP-NORC poll.
The survey comes as FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigates Russia’s connections with the Trump campaign. Mueller took over earlier this year after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey, who was investigating potential links between the Trump campaign members and the Kremlin.
The poll, which surveyed more than 1,000 U.S. adults last week, found 63 percent of Americans believe Trump has “tried to impede or obstruct” the Russia investigation. Meanwhile, 35 percent of Americans said they believed he hasn’t, two percent of U.S. adults said they didn’t know and one percent refused to answer the question.
The poll also asked Americans whether they believed Trump had “done something illegal” or if they thought he had “done something unethical” involving Russia. The survey found 40 percent of Americans believe Trump has done something illegal in regards to Russia, while 32 percent said they think the president has done something unethical, but not illegal. Meanwhile, 25 percent of Americans said they did not believe Trump had done anything illegal.
