Most Trump voters don't care if he worked with Russia to win election

Independent, UK- A majority of President Donald Trump's voters surveyed by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling believe he should continue to serve as president even if it's proven that he conspired with Russia to sway the 2016 election.

Just 14 per cent of Trump voters said he should resign in the event that special counsel Robert Mueller or the congressional intelligence committees find that he colluded with Russia. On the other hand, 77 per cent of Trump voters believe he should remain in office if the collusion claims are proven true. When Democrats and independent voters were factored into the results, 37 per cent of respondents said they believed Trump should stay in office if he colluded with Russia.

The survey also found that 52 per cent of respondents believe members of Trump's campaign team worked with Russia to help him clinch the presidency. The results were split along partisan lines: while 86 per cent of those who voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton believe the Trump-Russia allegations, just 13 per cent of Trump voters do.
