Poll: 60 percent disapprove of Trump, while clear majorities back Mueller and Sessions

President Trump’s disapproval rating has hit a high point of 60 percent, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll that also finds that clear majorities of Americans support the special counsel’s Russia investigation and say the president should not fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

At the dawn of the fall campaign sprint to the midterm elections, which will determine whether Democrats retake control of Congress, the poll finds a majority of the public has turned against Trump and is on guard against his efforts to influence the Justice Department and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s wide-ranging probe.

Nearly half of Americans, 49 percent, say Congress should begin impeachment proceedings that could lead to Trump being removed from office, while 46 percent say Congress should not.

And a narrow majority — 53 percent — say they think Trump has tried to interfere with Mueller’s investigation in a way that amounts to obstruction of justice; 35 percent say they do not think the president has tried to interfere.

Hot off the press!

1. He's a swer rat

2. Wow - Donnie should be rage tweeting

any minute now.

Curious as to those questions that are labeled held and not released - questions 3-10 and 12-18 under the full poll results.

3. He hasn't started yet

but then I suppose because he was on the road in IN. Somehow he has to take the attention away from McCain's memorial service!

4. They must have hidden his phone

It must be killing him that every time he turns on the tv (not trump tv) and sees the attention Sen McCain is getting. He KNOWS he'll never get those kinds of accolades - nobody is EVER going to call him a hero.

5. How the hell are people backing Sessions?

He was partially responsible for the child concentration camps

7. I think in this narrow case

it is more because if he got removed from the AG slot, the new person would immediately fire Rosenstein unless Rosenstein fired Mueller... I doubt any respectable liberal/progressive actually supports Sessions at all, but only respects that he has (so far) served as a firewall for the Special Prosecutor and hasn't directly interfered with Mueller (yet).

6. My husband was so tickled to get a poll call from Quinnipiac last night.

He was thrilled to be able to tell them a middle-class white guy registered Republican voted for Hillary and hates Trump. LOL!

He's registered Republican so we get their direct mail and push calls to see what they are up to...and in our area the Republican primaries often decide office holders. We're in a closed primary system, so he likes to be able to vote for as moderate a Republican as possible against some of the real right wingers the local party can dredge up.

8. Democrats backing Sessions is a little nauseating

Understandable reasons - but Sessions is truly awful.

9. Time is ticking for the dotard

10. How can anyone back Sessions?

The guy is literally pure scum.
