Mueller Investigation: Even Democrats, Independents Have Turned Against Probe, New Poll Suggests
By Greg Price On 6/13/18 at 9:05 AM

President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on the special counsel investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election may be taking hold not only among Republicans but Democrats and independents as well, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The Politico/Morning Consult poll found Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s favorability among Democrats and independents took a slight dive over the last 11 months. Twenty-four percent of Democrats registered an unfavorable score for Mueller, while 33 percent of independents also viewed Mueller in a negative light.

Last July, Mueller’s approval ratings among both Democrats and independents were higher. The former FBI director received a positive 28 percent rating among independents, and 32 percent from Democrats.

Overall, a record 53 percent of the poll’s respondents shared an unfavorable reaction to Mueller, a 26-point jump since Politico/Morning Consult first started polling the special counsel’s favorable and unfavorable rating among registered voters.

Thirty-six percent of voters now view special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in a negative light, according to a Politico–Morning Consult poll released Wednesday.

That's a significant rise from the 23 percent who viewed Mueller's probe negatively in July 2017 and suggests the criticism by the Trump administration and its allies in Congress and the media is eroding public support for the investigation.

More than half of Republican voters — 53 percent — say they view the special counsel unfavorably. That represents a 26-point increase from when the poll first started asking voters about their perceptions of Mueller in July 2017.

The number of Democrats who view Mueller unfavorably has also increased to 24 percent, while 33 percent of independent voters have a negative view of the special counsel.
