Only 24% buys the email BS, and 20% say "something else."

1. "something else" is a defensible answer, because really who knows with Tr*mp? nt

[herding cats]

2. That was my thought, too.

It's Trump after all.

3. Something else: a combination of the above.

Wouldn't dance to Trump's tune on the Clinton emails.
Breathing down Trump's neck on Russia.

Trump wants Giuliani or another compliant stooge
and Comey wasn't that person.

4. Equals out to only 90%

What happened to the other 10%? And 44% are some brain dead Mother Fuckers!

5. Only 46 %?

Who the fuck are the 54% who don't think the that is the reason?

6. I'm with the 20%ers

He just got bored and wanted to create some new chaos.

7. Lets see this poll next week after the Lester Holt interview is aired

8. Good point.

When this was done the issue was still more a graduate level politics matter. Trump doing that interview will force more of the intermediate level followers of politics to pay attention.

11. These polling results will only get worse for Trump

[WellDarn]

9. Yep

That will be interesting.

Even the little excerpts I've heard are devastating.

[beam me up scottie]

10. That number is going to go up.

Every network is poking holes in his excuse. Except for Faux of course.

[Gothmog]

12. Faux News viewers live in the own alternative reality and cannot be swayed by facts or truth

Facts and the truth are meaningless to Fox News viewers

[beam me up scottie]

13. Right. But not everyone watches Faux.

It doesn't look like other more credible networks are going to let up on this so I think the number in the op will continue to rise.

I just hope Trump doesn't do anything stupid to try to distract us. Like bomb someone else.
