NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll: Majority think Russia will interfere in November midterm elections

Majority think Russia will interfere in November midterm elections

https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/25/politics/russia-interference-poll/index.html

(CNN)More than half of American adults say they believe it's likely there will be Russian interference in November's midterm elections, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released on Wednesday.

The 57% of Americans who believe there will be interference represents a new high since the poll began tracking the question in February, when only 41% of Americans said the same.

The most likely to believe Russia will meddle in the midterms are strong Democrats (77% likely), those who live in suburban areas (68%), and whites who graduated college (67%). The groups most likely to say Russia won't do anything are strong Republicans (63%), Donald Trump supporters (58%), and white evangelical Christians (54%).

Only a week after downplaying Russia's interference in the 2016 US elections, Trump tweeted Tuesday that he was "very concerned" about Russia meddling in the 2018 midterms -- but on behalf of the Democrats. The poll was conducted days before that tweet.

The russians will help the democrats attack this election, he's admitting he knows they will , and for him and the republicans this election. He's projecting for his supporters again the opposite of the truth , or his propaganda he uses to diminish what he's doing. He did this over and over again with Hillary and many others. This is another normally used tactic of his against the truth. Once more people wise up to his doing this , the more they'll realize who he's working for, putin, not them.
