Most voters believe the anonymous New York Times editorial that claims President Donald Trump’s senior aides are working to keep him from making poor decisions, according to the Quinnipiac University Poll.

The anonymous author of the article claimed to be a senior member of the Trump administration who was a part of a "resistance" within the organization working to keep the president from making certain decisions that they deem would hurt the country. According to the poll, two-out-of-three American voters believe the op-ed is true, while one-third of respondents said they don’t.

  • 55 percent believe the allegations
  • 28 percent don’t believe them
  • 17 percent aren’t sure or didn’t answer

Republicans were far more likely to disbelieve the claims, while Democrats almost universally believed the op-ed.

  • 27 percent of Republicans believe op-ed
  • 52 percent don’t believe it
  • 22 percent aren’t sure or didn’t answer
  • 82 percent of Democrats believe the op-ed
  • 4 percent don’t believe it
  • 13 percent aren’t sure or didn’t answer

Most voters felt that the author of the op-ed did the “wrong thing” by having it published anonymously.

  • 39 percent thought it was right, including 7 percent of Republicans, 65 percent of Democrats and 38 percent of independents
  • 51 percent thought it was wrong, including 83 percent of Republicans, 26 percent of Democrats and 53 percent of independents

The Quinnipiac Poll surveyed 1,038 voters from September 6-9 by phone, with a margin of error of  3.7 percentage points.
