- 49% said the Department of Justice acted appropriately in investigating members of Trump’s presidential campaign, compared to 32% who say it acted inappropriately.
- 46% said the Justice Department acted appropriately in its probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, compared to 38 percent who said it acted inappropriately.
- 44% said they approve of the job Trump is doing as president, compared to 51% who disapprove.
- 39% said they would definitely or probably vote to re-elect Trump, while 53% said they would probably or definitely vote for someone else.
