Despite the current hyper-partisan political climate, opposition to foreign election interference transcends party lines, according to a new Grinnell College National Poll.
When asked if it is acceptable for"political candidates in the U.S. to ask for assistance from a foreign government to help them win an election," four in five Americans said no. That opposition remained strong among Republicans – 81% of whom said it was not OK to seek foreign assistance.
Trump has denied any"quid pro quo" between the aid and his call for the investigations, which he said was motivated by a desire to combat corruption. "The substance of the question at hand in the impeachment inquiry does not seem in dispute. What’s appropriate in terms of process and consequences are far less clear," Selzer said.
Notably, the Grinnell pollsters asked about foreign election meddling in general, and did not mention Trump or Biden, which might have contributed to the bipartisan response.
