The following is from Rasmussen Reports.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 69% of likely US voters say they agree with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that “accountability has to take place” for crimes tied to the “RussiaGate” scandal. Forty-eight percent (48%) say they strongly agree, while 21% say they disagree and 10% are not sure.

The poll comes after renewed attention to investigations of the Obama administration’s national security team and their handling of intelligence during the Trump-Russia probe. Gabbard recently said, “It is critical for the survival of our country that people who perpetrate such crimes are held accountable.”

Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters say they think it is likely that members of former President Barack Obama’s national security team committed crimes by manipulating intelligence to promote a false Trump-Russia narrative. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say they think it is “very likely,” while 41% say they don’t think crimes were likely.

Among voters who say they have very closely followed the news about these national security investigations, 65% say they think crimes were very likely committed.

The survey also highlights sharp party divides. Eighty-three percent (83%) of Republicans, 32% of Democrats, and 47% of unaffiliated voters say they think crimes were at least somewhat likely. In addition, 86% of Republicans, 59% of Democrats, and 62% of unaffiliated voters say they at least somewhat agree with Gabbard’s statement on accountability.

Among those who voted for Trump in last year’s presidential election, 88% say they think it is likely that Obama administration officials involved in “RussiaGate” committed crimes, while 72% of Kamala Harris voters say they think it is unlikely such crimes were committed.

The poll of 1,172 likely voters was conducted July 29–31, 2025, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.
