Asked directly, 39 percent of voters said they had a more favorable view of the president after answering previous questions regarding the Mueller report, compared with 43 percent who said they had a less favorable view. Democrats and Republicans mirrored each other, while independents were 9 points more likely to express unfavorable views about the president, 41 percent to 32 percent.

The conclusion of the Mueller probe, announced Friday, was hotly anticipated in Washington. Barr released his summary of Mueller’s report on Sunday, saying the special counsel did not establish that Trump or members of his campaign conspired with Russia in the 2016 election. Barr’s summary noted that Mueller left unanswered the question of whether the president obstructed the probe, though the attorney general said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded that the special counsel’s evidence was “not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”

Overall, 55 percent of voters correctly identified Barr’s assessment that Mueller did not find evidence that Trump or his campaign conspired with Russia to influence the results of the 2016 election.

But on the question of obstruction, views were comparatively mixed about whether Mueller made a determination – a message muddied by the president’s allies and Trump. Half of Republicans (48 percent) said Mueller found that Trump did not obstruct the investigation, while roughly 4 in 10 Democrats and independents correctly stated that Mueller did not make a determination.
