A majority of Republicans said President Trump is being framed by the FBI and the Department of Justice, according to a new poll from The Economist/YouGov released Wednesday.
When asked if Trump is being framed, 61 percent of Republicans said he is. Seventeen percent said he is not and 21 percent said they are not sure.
The number is dramatically different among Democrats, with only 7 percent believing Trump is facing a biased FBI that is framing him. The majority of Democrats 78 percent said he is not being framed.
One-fourth of independents said he is being framed, compared to the 39 percent who said he is not.

This is entirely the fault of the Republican leadership tolerating tRump's lies.

(7,401 posts)Those numbers portend a body count, a reckoning, a reset. Those numbers spell defeat, if they do not shift as the evidence emerges.
7% of Democrats are insane, btw.

(70,581 posts).... Republicans believed that Iraq had something to do w/9-11 and that Saddam Hussein had
smuggled all of his WMDs out Iraq before we invaded. To Trump's base the Mueller investigation
proves to them that the media and the deep state left behind by President Obama is out to get
him because that is what Trump and Fox say.. BTW these are the same people who smile as they
cheer "lock her up" about Hillary.

(5,524 posts)People unquestioningly support personalities now. They see it as their mission to lie for Trump and destroy his opponents. Justifying the murder of journalists and opponents wont be far behind.
The canary in the coal mine is skeletal at this point.

(14,837 posts)If a pollster calls and asks if you are a republican, you would likely say "no" or "independent" if you were disgusted with what is going on and they wouldn't ask you your opinion, or at least not count it in the poll of republicans.
So this is really a poll of hard core right wingers. Not republicans as a group including republican friendly indies.
Only 25% of indies felt that way. And most of those are republican voters.
People who self identified as republicans were only 25% of the population before trump. I'm sure its a lot lower now.
So no, half the country doesn't feel this way.

It also might be good for law enforcement, let's try. Democratic Party, reach out.
