On Russia related issues we find a certain degree of willful ignorance among Trump voters that can possibly best be summarized by this finding: only 45% of Trump voters believe Donald Trump Jr. had a meeting with Russians about information that might be harmful to Hillary Clinton...even though Trump Jr. admitted it. 32% say the meeting didn't happen and 24% say they're not sure.

Even if there was an investigation, and it found that the Trump campaign did collude with Russia to aid his campaign, 77% of his supporters think he should still stay in office to just 16% who believe he should resign.

Trump's right about one thing though- he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and not lose most of his support. 45% say they would still approve of him even if he shot someone to 29% who say they would disapprove, and 26% who aren't sure one way or the other.

How big is that basket of deplorables?

 

[Tagyhag]

I'm not even surprised.

I don't even understand why Trump just hasn't turned us into a dictatorship already. Those people would clearly support that.

 

[sturgboski]

These people are dumb. I mean even their golden Jesus, Donald, said Jr meant with Russians but it wasn't important.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

You have to be a real dipshit to not believe it at this point.

 

[Username1198]

You know what, maybe I'm the crazy one.

 

[rjinaz]

The fuk at that last part?

I'm guessing in their minds it's a liberal or Black man he'd kill and that would actually be a civil service.

 

[Strike]

55% of Republicans aren't in touch with reality.

 

[Nepenthe]

Republicans have absolutely no standards for the intelligence and character of their candidates.

 

[Trojita]

Literally dumber than a brick.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

....he said he did.

 

[DOWN]

They don’t believe even though it came from his own statement?

 

[Loudninja]

Hey atleast its not 56%!

Thats all I can say.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Half of them probably do believe, but they don't actually care.

There was a similar poll where Republican voters were shown photos of Obama's and Trump's inauguration crowds and they still claimed Trump had the bigger crowd despite the clear visual evidence.

 

[RobotHaus]

The fuk at that last part?

I'm guessing in their minds it's a liberal or Black man he'd kill and that would actually be a civil service.

What if he shot himself? How would his numbers fare?

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Hillary was absolutely right

 

[BigDug13]

Wow this isn't about Trump Sr but Trump Jr. He literally went on Hannity to say that he met with Russians. I mean WTF.

Are they wired to disbelieve the media so badly that even if the guy himself goes onto a media program and admits to it they still don't believe it?!?!?

 

[Skellig Gra]

I'm not even surprised.

I don't even understand why Trump just hasn't turned us into a dictatorship already. Those people would clearly support that.

He doesn't have the power to do that.

 

[Username1198]

They don’t believe even though it came from his own statement?

His statement was fake news! It was on CNN so I know I'm right!!!









*dies inside

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

So Jr's emails are fake?

 

[grandjedi6]

At what point though so we start questioning if Republican voters are just giving polling places very Pro-Trump answers because they already don't trust news organizations and pollsters? Because I very much don't believe 45% of Republicans are fine with Trump shooting a man but I certainly do believe that 45% would say they are as a middle finger to the pollsters.

 

[Saganator]

Conservative media must love seeing shit like this. Just confirms everything they're doing is working... and that's scary :/

 

[Hubbl3]

Since I know I'm not alone in hating when polls only give percentages, here's the sample size:

Public Policy Polling surveyed 836 registered voters from July 14th to 17th. The margin of error is +/-
3.4%. 80% of participants, selected through a list based sample, responded via the phone, while 20% of
respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet through an opt-in internet
panel.

[Ocara]

I can only hope this group of people proportionally shrinks, cause being that far gone in your dogmatic thinking leaves little room for recovery.

 

[shattyboombatty]

Expect these same people to say "so what, it doesn't even matter" once their media sources are forced to concede it happened.

 

[DMczaf]

...but he literally said he met with them!!

He said it.

He!!!


Whyyyyyyyy

 

[Astral/H3X]

What if he shot himself? How would his numbers fare?

Then he's a martyr of his own doing.

So no change.

 

[gazele]

I'm so confused

Is Fox News even trying to play this like the meeting didn't happen??

UGH

 

[rjinaz]

What if he shot himself? How would his numbers fare?

Interesting thought exercise. But I imagine if he survived he'd get a Jesus like cult following so they'd have to go up. If he didn't a ghost is still better than a dirty liberal.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

And thus everybody that voted for trump shouldn't be allowed to vote again in federal elections

They lack any logic or critical thinking skills.

they are traitors without even realizing it.

 

[Merc_]

So is Trump Jr. part of the deep state too?

 

[Glix]

This kind of shit does not surprise me anymore.

The things they believed about Obama, even after 8 years, had no basis in reality or facts or anything. This is just an extension of that.

I've been watching https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ all last week, expecting it to drop another point or two after the Trump Jr. revelations. It's been rock solid, only falling .3% over the weekend (basically not meaningful, likely just noise based on margin of error).

 

[ferrasvansen]

Hillary was absolutely right

Yes she was and to think so many tore her to shreds, Americans in large numbers are just living with heads up arse syndrome it's rather cultish the way the country is going.

 

[Ac30]

The fuk at that last part?

I'm guessing in their minds it's a liberal or Black man he'd kill and that would actually be a civil service.

26% are witholding judgment until they can confirm it was a minority

 

[Ushojax]

Why would you expect anything else? Their team won, nothing else matters.

 

[Nemesis121]

Don jr himself admitted to meeting them, lol these people...

 

[PhantomThief]

Sickening. These people are true idiots.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Folks who believe in a space ghost they've never seen not believing a meeting a dude himself admitted to? Sounds about right..😏

 

[cameron]

The "Why wasn't Obama in the Oval Office on 9/11?" crowd.

 

[Zach]

Even if there was an investigation, and it found that the Trump campaign did collude with Russia to aid his campaign, 77% of his supporters think he should still stay in office to just 16% who believe he should resign.

Hey, 16%. Look around you. Perhaps it's time for a change. Maybe shed that R.

 

[Mimosa97]

Why are you blaming ignorance? These people aren't dumb. These people have been waiting for two decades for a candidate to tell them exactly what they wanted to hear: immigrants are rapists, muslims are terrorists, the real victim of globalization is white America and any mainstream news outlet is fake news. They don't give a fuck about anything else. The guy could rape their own mothers and they would still worship him. Stop trying to reason with facts and stop " hoping " that they'll eventually see the light. Even if Trump is convicted of treason and has to resign he'll remain vastly popular among republicans for the decades to come.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

So Jr's emails are fake?

Remember: " The leaks are real, the news is fake"

 

[Autodidact]

You know, 45% believing it is actually higher than I thought it'd be.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

NY Times: "The sky is blue."
Republicans: "Fake news!"

 

[Skellig Gra]

Folks who believe in a space ghost they've never seen not believing a meeting a dude himself admitted to? Sounds about right..😏

If you think there are no religious democrats you are sorely mistaken.

 

[Patryn]

We are so goddamn polarized in our politics that people say they would be willing to support a leader who commits a murder in cold blood.

Think about that.

 

[Skinny Pete]

These people are living on Earth 2.

 

[Kurdel]

Trump Jr. and Sr. have both admitted that there was the meeting, what else do they need?!

 

[VendettaRed07]

Well at least 45% do I guess

 

[To Far Away Times]

This is the party that denies measured and observed climate change fact.

Absolute insanity.
