New survey results from Public Policy Polling show Donald Trump's followers tend to operate from a position of "willful ignorance" when it comes to their guy.
According to the poll:
• Only 45% of Trump voters believe Trump Jr. had a meeting in June of 2016 with a "Russian government attorney" with the express purpose to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. That's after Trump Jr. himself released emails confirming he did just that. Even with that admission, 32% of Trumpers say the meeting didn't happen.
• 64% of Trump voters oppose an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
• 72% of Trumpers say the Russia story is "fake news."
• Only 26% believe Russia wanted Trump to win the election.
• Even if proof were to be found that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the campaign, 77% of his supporters say he should stay in office.
• 45% of Trump folks say they would still approve of him even if he shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue.
And there you have it, folks.
