Poll: 61% of Americans think Trump has tried to obstruct Russia investigation
A majority of Americans believe that President Trump has tried to obstruct the ongoing Russia investigation, according to a new poll out Thursday.
A poll conducted by the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 61% of Americans surveyed believe the president has tried to obstruct or impede the investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election cycle.
According to the poll, another 37% said they don't think Trump has done this. Only 2% said they didn't know, and 1% skipped or refused to answer the question.
The release of the poll comes on the heels of a report from the Washington Post that special counsel Robert Mueller is now investigating the president for obstruction of justice. The investigation into the president's conduct began shortly after Trump fired FBI director James Comey in May, according to the Post.
USA TODAY has not independently verified the report.
Most Americans were also confident that the Justice Department's Russia investigation, led by Mueller, could be fair and impartial, with 26% saying they were extremely or very confident and another 36% saying they were moderately confident. Another 36% said they were not confident at all that the investigation could be fair.
Other results from the poll:
48% of those surveyed said they were extremely or very concerned that Trump and his campaign may have had inappropriate contacts with Russia. Another 20% said they were moderately concerned, and 30% said they were not very concerned or not at all concerned.
A majority of Americans (51%) disapproved of Trump's firing of Comey, while 22% said they approved. Another 24% said they did not approve or disapprove.
A majority (54%) said they thought leaks related to the investigation were harmful in terms of national security, while 42% said they thought the leaks were good because they gave the public information.
