Republicans Are Only Group That Mostly Sees Mueller Probe As A ‘Witch Hunt’

President Trump continues to rail against special counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. Trump has, for example, used the words “witch hunt” in tweets nearly a dozen times in the month since Election Day.

The phrase appears to have stuck with his base, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll, but not with others beyond that. Seven in 10 Republicans agree with him, while a majority of independents and 4 in 5 Democrats see the investigation as “fair.” CONT.
