Do you think the Mueller probe is fair?
What’s the story?

- One of the polls, which the president himself touted, has been criticized for being based on a poorly framed poll question.
What did the polls find?
AP poll
A survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found:
- 62% of Americans are confident that Mueller’s investigation is being conducted fairly.
- 33% are “very confident.”
- 37% are “not very” or “not at all confident” in a fair investigation.
Suffolk University/USA Today survey
This survey asked 1,000 respondents the following: “President Trump has called the Special Counsel’s investigation a ‘witch hunt’ and said he’s been subjected to more investigations than previous presidents because of politics. Do you agree?”
- 50.3% responded “yes”
- 47% disagreed
However, various outlets have criticized the question for combining two ideas: “[I]t’s not clear which of Trump’s claims respondents were agreeing or disagreeing with — that the Russia investigation is a ‘witch hunt,’ or that there have been more politically motivated investigations of Trump than other presidents,” FactCheck.org explained.
