NEW YORK (AP) — Slim majorities of Americans favor independent investigations into President Donald Trump’s relationship with the Russian government and possible attempts by Russia to influence last year’s election.
That’s according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Amid questions swirling in Washington that have forced the resignation of one top Trump official and the scrutiny of several others, most Americans say they’re at least somewhat concerned about the possibility that the Republican businessman’s campaign had inappropriate contacts with the Russian government. Less than half say they’re very concerned.
The results are sharply partisan. More than three-quarters of Democrats favor an independent investigation while only one-quarter of Republicans do.
Overall, 52 percent of Americans favor the probe, while 23 percent are opposed.

Um, a quarter of Democrats did not check the ‘I’m in favor of a probe’ box? I find that hard to believe.
(OT: Is it just me, or are the leaks out of the WH far fewer in number these days? Used to be that the WaPo would run a leak almost every day…)
Nearly half Americans want to impeach trump and other stuff.
This was six in the morning yesterday, but he was going off in the same vein at the same time today. Contemptible and pathetic. These denials are so painfully childish you wonder if he won’t end up like Al Capone, who was released early from Alcatraz because his brain was so ravaged by late-stage syphilis.
They really need to probe who let that painting out in public. That’s a serious crime against humanity.
Keep up the drumbeat, Trump-Putin-Corruption-Russia, day in, day out. The American people should hear this so frequently and insistently that Clinton emails gets replaced in their consciousness with Trump Treason.
