(CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's approval rating for handling the Russia investigation stands at 50% in a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS. That outpaces President Donald Trump's approval rating on the matter by 20 points. The poll is CNN's first since the conviction of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on tax and bank fraud charges stemming from Mueller's investigation and guilty pleas from Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen on several charges after an investigation that Mueller had referred to the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. read more here.
in a perfect world Trump's friends over at Fox News would tell him that his campaign against Mueller isn't working. Instead, we have Sean Hannity presuming to predict that Trump will fire Mueller after the midterms. Read about it here. When was the last time we had a journalist behaving like they're part of the WH cabinet? Imagine that. Mueller has managed to poll higher than Trump without doing a single news media interview or making any other public statement. It might have something to do with the average American being impressed with the professional manner he's carrying himself. Well. That. Plus Trump getting up everyday and reliving his version of a "Perry Mason moment" on twitter.
