From coast to coast, Democrats to Republicans, men and women, young and old, black and white, nearly every American think special counsel Robert Mueller’s report should be made public.
The new non-partisan Quinnipiac poll finds that 84 percent of respondents said the report should be made public, with only 9 percent saying it should not.
Among Republicans, the divide was slightly smaller, but still stark, with 75 percent supporting release of the report and 17 percent opposing it.
Fifty-five percent of respondents said Mueller conducted a fair investigation, compared to 26 percent who said it was not fair.
POLL FINDINGS:
- 84 percent want Mueller’s report released to the public
- 9 percent say it should not be released
- Republicans support releasing the report, 75 percent to 17 percent
- Democrats support releasing the report, 93 percent to 4 percent
- Independents support releasing the report, 86 percent to 8 percent
Figures on both sides of the aisle have called for the full release of Mueller’s report.
“We want to know more, say voters who have read the bullet points and believe the Mueller investigation was fair, but would like to read it in full,” Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement. “But was it a witch hunt? That remains the stuff of dinner table discussion.”
The polling firm found a gender gap on whether the probe was a “witch hunt,” President Trump’s frequent characterization.
Men agreed with the characterization 50 percent to 43 percent, while women said 55 percent to 37 percent it had been “legitimate.”
