Gallup editor-in-chief Frank Newport said on Tuesday that Americans have come to reject the idea that President Trump did anything criminal with regards to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"A lot of Americans have dismissed the idea that he [Trump] colluded to the extent that he did something illegal," Newport told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."
"A lot more Americans would say he did something wrong, but it wasn't illegal," he continued.
Newport was referring to a Gallup poll released last week that found that only 29 percent of Americans said they believed Trump acted illegally in Russian involvement during the 2016 campaign.
Twenty-seven percent said Trump acted unethically but did nothing illegal, while 35 percent said he did not do anything seriously wrong.
The same survey also found that 31 percent of those polled said the president acted illegally with regards to nondisclosure payments to women who claim to have had affairs with him. Thirty-seven percent of respondents said Trump acted unethically but not illegally in the payments, and 23 percent said he did nothing seriously wrong.
Russian election meddling and the alleged hush-money payments have thorns in Trump's side for months. Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen told a court last month that he violated campaign finance laws "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office," referring to the president.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has secured indictments, guilty pleas or convictions from a series of Russian nationals and former Trump campaign officials in his probe, including former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.
The Democratic Media Complex is involved in a whispering and innuendo campaign to keep their narrative alive.
The constant rumors spread by the media make it appear to the public Trump MUST have done SOMETHING wrong.
They can't take Trump down with one punch so they're going with 'death by a thousand rumors'.

But look at it this way...when you get called a russian troll you KNOW how crazy they are and how little else they could be correct about.
