The telephone and online survey results showed 39 percent of voters say it is unlikely law enforcement officials broke the law in targeting Trump.
“These findings are virtually unchanged in surveying since February of last year,” Rasmussen Reports notes.
What has changed, however, is the percentage of voters who say the senior law enforcement officials who targeted Trump should be jailed if found guilty of breaking the law.
A plurality (43 percent) of respondents say the officials should be jailed – up from 25 percent in February, while 22 percent say officials who acted illegally should simply be fired. (Read more from “Poll: Over Half of Voters Say Senior Law Enforcement Officials Illegally Targeted Trump” HERE)
