Trump Says He Holds Putin Personally Responsible for Election Meddling
The poll has a margin of error of four percentage points.

Russia has denied all allegations of interfering in the 2016 election and has called the accusations groundless. Moreover, Russian officials have said the allegations were made up to provide an excuse for the electoral loss of a candidate as well as to deflect public attention from actual instances of election fraud, corruption and other pressing issues.
