Majority Of Americans Want Jeff Sessions To Resign: Poll

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday revealed that 51% of voters think Sessions should resign, compared to 42% who want Sessions not to resign.

And 50% of voters believe Sessions lied under oath, while 40% don’t think Sessions lied about meeting with the Russian ambassador.

According to Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, “The gavel comes down hard on Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He lied and he should quit because of it, say Americans, who are clearly very concerned about the Russian affair and all the administration personnel involved with it.”

Other key numbers from the poll:

  • The same poll found that 54% of voters disapprove of the way Donald Tump is handling U.S. policy towards Russia.
  • A total of 61% are “very concerned” or “somewhat concerned” about Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia.
  • 51% of American voters say that Trump should not support efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act otherwise known as Obamacare.
  • 63% of voters say illegal immigrants should be allowed to remain in the U.S. and eventually become citizens

From March 2 – 6, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,323 voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
