Poll after poll has shown skepticism about the extent to which Trump was cleared by the attorney general's letter.

By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 4 at 9:04 AM Skepticism emerged the very moment that Attorney General William P. Barr released a four-page letter providing an overview of the conclusions reached in the investigation conducted by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
“[M]embers of Mueller’s team have complained to close associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant,” The Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima, Carol Leonnig and Rosalind Helderman reported. “'It was much more acute than Barr suggested,' said one person, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity.”
A CNN-SSRS poll released last week had a similar conclusion. Most Americans believe Trump wasn’t exonerated of the specific allegation that his campaign had colluded with Russia — a vague phrasing that wasn’t mentioned in Barr’s letter at all — but that, instead, possible coordination couldn’t be proved.
Most Americans did feel, though, that Trump’s team had interacted inappropriately with Russia before his inauguration — a period that includes things like then-national security adviser designate Michael Flynn’s outreach to the Russian ambassador in December 2016.
