Uh, oh. Problems with the base?

A Fox News poll released Thursday had some surprising takeaways regarding respondents’ thoughts on the the handling of the Russia investigation.

The 52-page-long survey, which was conducted by a bipartisan group of pollsters between May 11 and May 14, asked people’s opinions on a variety of subjects, such as President Trump’s likability, the economy, the White House’s relationship with North Korea and the handling of the Russia investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller and by Attorney General William Barr.

The Fox News poll found that more people (50%) oppose the impeachment of the president than support it (42%). It also concluded that more people think that Mueller did a good job with the investigation than not. 46% of respondents approved how he handled it, 32% disapproved it, and 22% did not know.

I would take any poll with a grain of salt.

The conclusion stated does not flow inescapably from those particular stats, either the specific question about that relative trust which would lead to that conclusion was asked but not included in the excerpt, or it wasn't asked and they're propagandizing or sensationalizing the results to generate buzz.
