The Hill-HarrisX Poll: Majority Trust Mueller, Dems in Trump Probes

A new survey found that the majority of Americans trust Congressional Democrats and special counsel Robert Mueller investigating President Donald Trump and his administration.

Key figures in the poll from The Hill and HarrisX:

• 19 percent trust Mueller, who is leading the Department of Justice probe into Russian collusion.
• 10 percent trust Congressional Democrats, who have launched a wide-ranging investigation into Trump's background.
• 28 percent trust both.
• A combined 57 percent trust either Mueller, Democrats, or both.
• 43 percent trust neither of the aforementioned parties, including 67 percent of Republicans and 15 percent of Democrats surveyed.

"I think that a lot of Americans out there just don't care that much about these investigations," Cato Institute director of polling Emily Ekins told Hill.TV. "Now, if the investigation uncovered something real and concrete and clear, that would absolutely make a difference, including for a certain set of pivotal voters in Trump's coalition."

The findings are in contrast to another poll from USA Today and Suffolk University, which found that 50.3 percent of those polled agreed with Trump that Mueller's investigation is a "witch hunt."
