Trump voters dont want Trump to get rid of Elizabeth Warrens consumer agencyNik DeCosta-Klipa

A Morning Consult poll released Wednesday finds that most Trump voters dont want to see Warrens brainchild agency rolled back.
According to the poll, 15 percent want the Trump administration to expand the CFPBs power, 41 percent want it left alone, 21 percent want Trump to limit its power, and 7 percent want the president-elect to get rid of the agency entirely. Another 17 percent are not sure.
Big bank lobbyists and their friends in Washington may have forgotten about the devastating 2008 financial crisis, but its clear the American people havent, the senator said in a statement Wednesday.
Working families want a strong consumer agency and tough rules on Wall Street no matter who they supported for president, she added.

Spoiler alert, opinion is not uniform across identified Dem/GOP party members.

Morning Consult
Almost half of Americans do not agree with the U.S. intelligence communitys assessment that the Russian government was behind cyberattacks on the Democratic Party and Hillary Clintons presidential campaign in 2016, according to a new Morning Consult/POLITICO survey.
When asked to pick the statement that most aligned with their views, 46 percent of respondents chose one that said the U.S. cant be sure who is primarily responsible for the hacking because tracing cyberattacks is complicated and because intelligence groups were wrong about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. In contrast, 29 percent chose the statement that said there was near certainty that Russia is responsible for hacking and that intelligence agencies had used advanced techniques to determine that the former Cold War adversary is responsible. A quarter said they didnt know or had no opinion.
