Since President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in last years presidential election, the overwhelming Democratic narrative has been that Trump committed some wrongdoing in his victory. <\/p>\n
First, Democrats alleged that Trump and members of his campaign colluded with Russian operatives during the election to undermine Clintons campaign and win the White House. No concrete evidence to suggest collusion has surfaced. The FBI has only publicly confirmed an intelligence investigation into Trumps campaign. <\/p>\n
But in recent weeks, the main narrative has been that Trump committed obstruction of justice when he exercised his constitutional right to fire FBI Director James Comey. Critics argued Comeys dismissal amounted to obstruction because the FBI was in the midst of their investigation into Trumps campaign. <\/p>\n
And it appears that narrative is resonating with Americans. <\/p>\n
According to a new poll from the Associated Press and the University of Chicagos NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 61 percent of Americans surveyed believe Trump has tried to impede or obstruct the FBIs investigation into his campaign, while just 37 percent said they believe Trump hasnt tried to impede or obstruct the investigation. <\/p>\n
The poll also found there is a growing concern over the possibility that Trumps campaign colluded with Russian operatives during last years election. When asked, 48 percent said they are extremely or very concerned about the possibility, up from 44 percent in March, while just 30 percent said they arent very concerned or not concerned at all, down from 36 percent in March. <\/p>\n
An overwhelming majority, 52 percent, also said they disapproved of Trumps decision to fire Comey, while 22 percent said they approved of the decision and 24 percent said they were indifferent. <\/p>\n
In addition, the poll found that not many Americans believe special prosecutor Robert Mueller will carry out a fair and impartial investigation. Only 26 percent said they were extremely confident in Muellers ability, while 36 percent each said they were moderately confident or not confident at all. <\/p>\n
The survey was conducted between June 8-11 and polled 1,068 respondents, with 46 percent being Democrats, 33 percent being Republican and 21 percent being independents. It has a margin of error of 4.1 percent. <\/p>\n
