    Judging from the mainstream media's breathless coverage of President Trump's alleged blunders in Helsinki during his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, it's clearly the biggest story in the history of the world (mankind's harnessing of fire is a distant second).

    Google "Trump" and "treason" and you'll break your computer.

    So what do Americans think? What percentage think the "situation with Russia" is "the most important problem facing the country today"?

    *

    No, that's the answer, an asterisk. The percentage of people who think Russia is the most pressing issue is literally unmeasurable.Gallup did a poll of 1,033 people from July 1 to July 11 and found 37 issues Americans care more about.

    "Gallup recently did a poll of what Americans say is the most important problem facing the country. One finding: the percentage of Americans saying “Situation with Russia” is the most important problem is literally too small to represent with a number," David Sirota, a journalist at Capital and Main, said on Twitter.

    Wasn't Gallup one of the ones that said Hillary would win?

    The Helsinki summit was July 16. It's just a wee bit dishonest to cite a poll taken before the event as evidence of the reaction to the event.

    Something I'm getting really sick of is the term "The American People"

    It's such horseshit. Without question there are huge numbers of "American People" that give lots of shits about the Russia thing. That is an indisputable fact. I wish this administration and their half-witted followers would stop speaking for me as an "American Person" and get the fuck outta here.

    Poll question obviously doesn't refer to the summit at all because it hadn't occurred, but rather was designed to encompass everything in our overall relationship with Russia and the fake Russian Collusion propaganda permeating the fake news outlets.

    It's clear less than 1% buys the collusion nonsense.

    Total failure of the DNC's hyperbolic media attempts to deflect from REALITY.

    You should see my twitter feed of real humans.....including prominent republican Joe Walsh who has done a complete 180 on the Russia thing since Helsinki. He was a staunch Trump supporter until now. Quite the turn around. And he's not the only one.

    Thank you for clearing that up.

    This reminds me of Trump. How come we have to have an interpretation for everything he says? It seems like he says one thing but his handlers explain that he meant something entirely different.

    That's simply out of courtesy for the majority of Democrat voters who struggle with the language of their recently adopted homeland.

    Trump's statements are strictly to feed his base and his ego. No, I'd say he has trouble following a thought, like a lot of trouble.

    Edit: You must be referring to all those illegals who were bused in so they could vote illegally. I believe there were only three Million of us, though.
