MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Fifty-two percent of the US respondents do not believe that there was "a collusion" between US President Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow, while almost 60 percent think that the appointment of the special counsel will lead to the end of the inquiry into the US president's alleged ties to Russia, according to a poll.

A Harvard-Harris Poll for The Hill newspaper showed on Monday that 59 percent thought the last week's appointment of former FBI director Robert Mueller as special counsel in the probe would result in its end, while 41 percent thought the investigation might lead to the president's impeachment.
The survey was conducted on May 17-20 among 2,006 people.
The US intelligence community has suggested that Russia may have influenced the 2016 US election, but offered no proof. Moscow has repeatedly refuted the claims of its alleged interference in the US election.
