“Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent,” Trump tweeted on Monday. But by a small margin, more agree than disagree with the point Trump’s been making ― 41 percent say it’s likely most politicians would agree to such a meeting, while 36 percent say most would not. But the significant political divide among the respondents ― Trump voters were more than 10 times likelier than Clinton voters to consider such a meeting appropriate ― suggests that people were picking up on the not-so-subtle context for the survey. (An earlier survey that did use Trump’s name garnered largely similar results.) Accordingly, Trump voters are much more likely to accept his claim that Donald Trump Jr.’s decision to take the meeting was par for the course ― 86 percent of the president’s backers say they believe most politicians would have done the same, while just 10 percent of Clinton voters agree.
