Majority Support Holding Officials Accountable for RussiaGate Scandal

Public opinion remains strongly in favor of accountability regarding the 'RussiaGate' controversy, with a significant majority of Americans supporting investigations into potential misconduct. According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, 69% of likely voters believe that those involved in the scandal should be held responsible. The poll also reveals that over half of respondents (54%) consider it probable that members of President Barack Obama's national security team possibly committed crimes by manipulating intelligence to support a false narrative about Russia and then-candidate Donald Trump. Among these, 37% view this as very likely. Conversely, 41% of voters dismiss the likelihood of criminal activity by Obama administration officials, with 28% asserting it is not at all probable. The survey was conducted via phone and online from July 29 to 31, 2025, involving 1,172 participants and maintaining a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Rasmussen Reports continues to monitor public sentiment on political and social issues, providing insights through regular polls and updates.
