Most believe Trump trying to obstruct Russia probe: Poll

| | Washington

Most Americans think Donald Trump did something illegal or at least unethical regarding ties between his presidential campaign and Russia and they think he is trying to obstruct the investigation looking into those possible connections.

The deeply divided country is more concerned about health care and the economy than any collusion with the Kremlin, according to a new poll by The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. But the survey also shows that Americans are unhappy with the way Trump is dealing with the investigations led by Congress and special counsel Robert Mueller. Most people believe Trump is trying to obstruct the probe, which have resulted in charges against four of his campaign advisers and increasingly appear focused on the President’s inner circle.
