American Voters Believe Trump has been Compromised by Russia

While it is disheartening to note that Trump supporters generally remain steadfast in their support of their failed businessman leader, the good news is that Trump supporters are far from being a majority of American voters - they weren't in the majority in 2016, and they still aren't.

This week Quinnipiac University released its latest poll of actual American voters, and the results were not that good for Donald Trump and his supporters, particularly in regard to Russia - the country that Trump claims he is so tough toward.

Over two-thirds of American voters, according to Quinnipiac, are "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about Trump's relationship to Russia - and a majority of American voters (51%) believe that the Russian government has compromising information on Trump.  Only 35% of respondents did not believe that the Russians have something on Trump - but Republicans don't believe it by a ratio of 70% to 18%.  (Or, conversely, nearly one-in-five Republicans do believe that the Russian government has compromising information on Donald Trump.)

Fifty-four percent of American voters, according to Quinnipiac believe that Trump is not acting in the best interests of the United States, while 41% think that he is.

And as to the Mueller "witch hunt" that Trump likes to rail about:  55% of American voters think that Robert Mueller is conducting a fair investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election cycle.  Thirty-one percent believe otherwise.  Significantly, 63% of American voters are concerned that Russia will try to interfere in this fall's midterm elections.

Trump says he is tough on Russia - and he may even believe it - but most American voters do not.  They have told Quinnipiac how they feel - and now they must - MUST - go to the polls and tell the world!

The fate of American democracy is in the balance.

Last night's breaking news from CNN and NBC was that the Russians are again meddling in our politics. This time they've targeted Missouri's Senior Senator Claire McCaskill.
