Mueller Beating Trump in Polls
Mueller Beating Trump in Polls
"A new poll by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, first reported by USA Today, found that roughly two-thirds of Americans in 2018 battleground districts would “disapprove” of President Donald Trump removing special counsel Robert Mueller from the investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
The poll, which focused on 99 districts that were identified as competitive for the 2018 midterm elections, also found that 44 percent of people in these districts would “strongly” disapprove of Mueller’s removal.
Additionally, the poll, which USA Today reported was funded by a group of liberal organizations including MoveOn, End Citizens United, American Bridge, and Stand Up America, focused on majority Republican districts with 70 of the districts polled currently being held by Republican and the 29 others being currently held by Democrats."

“The indictment of Manafort is sending shock waves through K Street and the FARA Unit at the Department of Justice,” said Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist at Public Citizen, a group that supports government transparency. “The Justice Department largely neglected its role in the administration of FARA, which emboldened many lobbyists to ignore the law and opt to register under the weaker disclosure regime of the Lobbying Disclosure Act, if at all.”
Trump’s efforts to drain the swamp have been limited to toothless rhetoric and a host of scandals implicating his business cronies.
As special counsel, Mueller has recruited an elite team, acted swiftly, issued credible threats, and has started addressing long-standing patterns of corruption inside the Beltway. It is no wonder that he is polling better than Trump right now. The former FBI director is far better at governing than the former reality-television star.
That contrast will be on display well into the next year. It will drive Trump crazy."
