ELECTION/POLLS/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump renewed his attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller and his Russia probe on Wednesday [11-7-18], less than 24 hours after Democrats won control of the House. ‘According to NBC News, Voters Nationwide Disapprove of the so-called Mueller Investigation (46%) more than they Approve (41%),’ Trump wrote on Twitter, although NBC News’ exit poll actually shows 42 percent of voters nationwide approve of Mueller’s handling of the probe, while 45 percent disapprove…Democrats won back the House following Tuesday’s midterms, which primes those lawmakers with subpoena power to fight the White House if it tries to block a public release of Mueller’s probe on whether Russia colluded with Trump’s 2016 campaign. The investigation has widened to also include possible obstruction of justice by Trump, and has spawned various other inquiries.”
