Nearly two-thirds of voters think President Trump should voluntarily submit to an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Around 63 percent of respondents in a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll said the president should agree to be interviewed, while 27 percent said he should not. About a third of Republicans supported the idea.
Over half of those surveyed, 55 percent, said Mueller should be allowed to continue the investigation into the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia for as long as he sees fit. Another 40 percent said the special counsel should wrap the probe up in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, 55 percent said that they had at least some trust in Mueller to conduct the probe fairly, while only 35 percent said they had at least some trust in Trump’s claims that his campaign did not collude with the Kremlin. About 44 percent said Congress should attempt to impeach Trump while 47 percent said it should not.
The poll of 1,000 registered voters was conducted from August 23 to 28, after former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s guilty plea and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s conviction on charges arising from Mueller’s probe.
