Trump's attacks on Mueller aren't working: Fox News poll shows Mueller's approval way up

[phands]

Great news...and from Faux as well...even though they tried to bury it....

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s approval rating is way up, a new Fox News poll finds—and the poll was mostly conducted before former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort’s conviction on eight charges. Back in June, Mueller’s approval was a solid 55 percent, but it took a dive to 48 percent in July as Trump campaigned against his investigation. But now:


Mueller stands at 59 percent, up 11 points since July, and 40 percent expect the investigation will find Trump committed criminal or impeachable offenses, up 5 points.


Don’t expect Republicans to let go of their “Trump is winning the public relations war against Mueller” talking point, though. What else do they have?


The funny thing is, Fox’s write-up of this poll buries the Mueller news under six other results from the same poll … all of which are also bad news for Republicans. Obamacare is more popular than the Republican tax law. The Democratic Party is more popular than the Republican Party. Democrats are more motivated to vote in November’s elections than Republicans are. And, yes, Robert Mueller’s investigation has widespread support.

Thanks Phands. I love the smell of napalm in the morning...

I'm sorry, but 55% approval for Mueller is hardly "solid". It is heavily partisan. It indicates that nearly half of the country thinks that Mueller is a biased liberal trying to snare Trump in a perjury trap.

Honor among thieves.

Also, people love a soap opera. It's a battle between bogeymen. Will the real bogeyman please stand up - like that old show What's My Line?

Now the orange crusader raises the specter of financial ruin if he gets impeached. He's pretty skilled at manipulating idiots about looming bogeymen.

None of his supporters care at all about anything he has done or will do. It's the simple loyalty game, don't break ranks, just keep shoulder to shoulder for our leader.
