Public Overwhelmingly Opposes Trump Firing Mueller


Donald Trump is not happy that he and his aides are being investigated by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller. He obviously is afraid of what the Mueller investigation might find (whether about his campaign activities or other activities). He's so concerned that he has tried twice to fire Mueller, but was talked out of it by cooler heads at the White House.

It's probably good for Trump (and for the country) that he was talked out of trying to fire Mueller. That's because the American public overwhelmingly oppose the firing of Mueller. Only 13% of the population thinks Trump should fire Mueller, while a whopping 74% say he should not fire Mueller. That's a gap of 61 points in favor of NOT firing Mueller.

The chart above was made using information in a recent Quinnipiac University Poll -- done between April 20th and 24th of a random national sample of 1,193 voters, with a margin of error of 3.4 points.
