Amid Attorney General William Barr's escalating clash with Congress, a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows few voters are praising him for how he has handled the release of the Mueller report.
Despite the revelation that special counsel Robert Mueller wrote a letter to Barr after the attorney general released a four-page memo on his report‘s conclusions — which did not conclude that President Donald Trump criminally conspired with the Russian government to affect the 2016 presidential election — Barr’s approval rating concerning the Mueller report is essentially unchanged over the past two weeks.
While Democrats have criticized Barr, saying he protected Trump at the end of the Mueller investigation, voters overall are shrugging off those charges. Asked whether Barr’s primary goal in releasing information from the investigation was to inform the public of Mueller’s findings or to limit scrutiny of Trump’s actions, voters split: 35 percent said Barr has mostly worked to protect Trump, and 32 percent said Barr has mostly tried to inform the American people; 32 percent were undecided.
Until the Mueller report was released, Barr had been largely out of the public eye since a previous stint as attorney general in George H.W. Bush’s administration. But his public profile is growing, the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows.
Polling the loons that comment on here is not a scientific poll, it’s. Democratic Party poll.
Barr 🤥
morgfair That 30% though...lol.. picking the banjo, waiting for a citified sucker to head down o the River close to nightfall.. squeeeeeeel....deliverance
So you asked 7 Democrats and 3 Republicans and you expected what for your results?
He released more than he had to, he could have kept the report.
3 in 10 liberals.....pretty good.
You mean...
Poll, 😂😂😂
The other 7 in 10 never heard of AG Barr.
Polls hahahaahhahah
Congress circumventing policy and regulations because they they didn’t like the result of Mueller’s report is not adequate reason for contempt charges.
The American public is not stupid. We see clearly what is going on. We know right from wrong
Buzzfeed poll?
Bars a coward and a schmuck and I'm sure he's being paid somewhere under the table and some shape or form for all the nitwit things that we see him doing
Democrats now are mad at him and they will burn keep watching its strike 2 now
I wonder what they they think of Mueller’s handling of job as S.C. ?
Barr should resign
Dimms propaganda seems to be working, sadly!
Your poll is meaningless, same people who think any democratic candidate can beat Trump
What's to approve? Censorship, lying, covering up? But may him kissing Trump's butt is some recompense. Nope.
You're suggesting William Barr has moral courage.
We have laws that protect minorities for this very reason.
So the whole thing makes us look stupid on both sides.
0 in 10- there, fixed it
Well the liberal media is succeeding in painting Barr the way they’re trying to. It’s insane. He released a 4 page letter outlining the base conclusions. And then released the full report 3 weeks later w/ minimal redactions. Give me a break.
I approve and everyone I know .So this poll must have been done in Washington DC .
Who did you survey? A bunch of Dems?
Re-do your polling ,Politico.
Did you take the Poll around inside the Politico office? 😂😂
Barr is being Trumps personal lawyer. The report was clear, he should be charged, instead, the DOJ won't charge a sitting President.
FakeNews Look at the question that was asked and the poll demographics...tells you everything you need to know...
I don’t care. Issue is the report did not show collusion as Dems wanted.
Yea we don’t exactly trust polls anymore after the 2016 polling debacles
Impeach the Toad!
bring contempt charges then watch information come forward and see what the percentage of favorable to non favorable is.
Proving that 30% of people will approve of just about anything - especially if it owns the libs.
In your office
Barr has a date with destiny. And it is not goi g to be pretty.
Maybe if you and others didn’t keep lying about it...🤷♂️
BULL!
Fake Poll, same one had Hillary Winning!
He is corrupt.
So 29% approve of cheaters and liars?
But Crooked Donny approves and that’s the only opinion he cares about. What a disgrace.
The Trump Core approves... and that’s it.
And fewer than 1 in 10 approve of the way congress is behaving.
I wasn’t polled but put me down as 100% approve.
MR.BARR IS MOST DECENT ATT.GENERAL. HE CAN'T BREAK THE LAW FOR ANYBODY & CONGRESS SHOULD KNOW THAT. MR.BARR ALSO KEPT AST.DEPUTY WITH HIM.
Fake polls. We all approve
it's al freaking out, they can read all 400+ pages, not sure what else people want.
ETTD
That's because most of them are idiots who don't understand the law!
That’s a more accurate number of trump’s actual base. Maybe even more like 25-27%
Looks like impeachment poll.
And almost 7 in 10 do not understand the legalities of releasing an investigation from a prosecutor. There are LAWS to follow that govern what CANNOT be released. Barr is placed in an untenable position of violating LAW or being held in Contempt by a partisan House Committee.
No schit Sherlock!
Do the next poll in the US
Barr doesn’t need their gd approval. No one called ME!
Because he came off like an evasive weasel playing word games...
That's still 3 in 10 though! Amazing!
Sure glad you did the math for us.😃
Don't care because we know you always overpoll Dems....
And guess what GOP really doesn't give a crap about what voters think. They have the football and are going to just keep running with it down the field. No one is stopping them.
He followed the law put in place by dems.
Barr should do whats right per DOJ not what polls say!
keep repeating that over and over again .... see what difference it makes ...
Another Poll? Ask Hillary how that went for her! Like your polls on the tax cuts? Or in the economy? Why does the media has to be so dishonest! Barr allowed Democrats to see 98.5% of the report, including 99.9% of Volume II, which focuses on obstruction. It is pure insanity!
The 7 out of 10 are right.
This is shocking, given all the favorable press coverage he’s been getting.
So roughly 45’s staunch base. Got it.
That many?! WTF is wrong with people
He's the kid who tried to write a book report but didn't read the book.
Fake poll
So what?
Aaaaand this concerns Republicans how...?
