| Harvard Poll: Majority Believe Deep State Leaking to ‘Unseat' Trump |
| 2017-06-27 |
| [Breitbart] A majority of Americans believe that the "Deep State" is trying to "unseat" President Donald Trump, according to the most recent Harvard-Harris poll. The poll asked respondents: "Specifically, do you think the so called ’Deep State’ ‐ the collection of intelligence agencies and holdover government workers from the Obama administration -- is trying to unseat President Trump using leaks of classified information?" Fifty-four percent of respondents answered "yes" while 46% believed the Deep State is not trying to unseat Trump, who has repeatedly asserted that he is the victim of a "Witch Hunt." The Deep State has leaked to establishment media outlets like the Washington Post and New York Times to undermine and smear Trump and his advisers, some of whom are reportedly being investigated by the FBI for their ties to or meetings with various Russian officials. These outlets have written stories, based on anonymous Deep State sources, that, among other things, have suggested Trump revealed classified information to the Russians and called former FBI director James Comey a "nut job." Over the weekend, Pat Buchanan said there is a "classic struggle... between the incoming Trump presidency, which is really embattled in its first five months, and what might be called the Deep State, which is the permanent government in Washington, D.C." |

| #3 I'm only surprised the 54% is not much higher. The question is how many of that 54% approve. |

| #2 Trump’s top White House advisers are “becoming increasingly convinced that they are victims of a conspiracy against Trump’s presidency, as evidenced by the number of leaks flowing out of government — that the crusade by the so-called ‘deep state’ is a legitimate threat.” One doesn't need a 220 page Harvard study to tell them this. I'm only surprised the 54% is not much higher. |

| #1 Sure seems like it from here in Podunk. I cannot recall ever seeing the press and government careerists in such fury over every little thing, like the president's 2 scoops of ice cream. The have gone insane. They need to start locking people up for leaking. |
