Anyone can make any poll say whatever they want it to say. The data gathered is far to easy to manipulate.
What did ALL the polls indicate would happen leading up to the 2016 election .... Let me help you with that so you don't mess the answer up by putting down something dumb .... The POLLS said that Hillary would be the next president and that it was going to be by several percentage points (i.e. not close). LOL.

I don't think Russia is the major threat any more--China is. In that context, I think it could be a very useful foreign policy strategy to triangulate Russia against China.

If Democrats are so sure the Russians meddled in the 2016 elections, how come Barack Obama, our president, didn’t do anything about it.
In 2012 Mitt Romney warned Liberals 5 different times that Russians were interfering with our election elections....
Obama responded with “ The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because…the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”
Biden suggested Romney’s assertion might’ve been either a slip of the tongue, or an indication that he belongs to “a small group of Cold War holdovers.”
Secretary of State Clinton: “It’s So Last Season To Be Concerned About Russia”
Why the change in their opinions? I believe, as most do, it’s because they lost in November 2016.
The Russians are a convenient excuse for the Democrats. Trump wins it’s the Russians, Bernie gets ahead and it’s the Russians.
It’s sad what has happened to the Democratic Party since November 2008.
all of this.
Morons (like Mensa) believe this Russia nonsense. The only people who "interfered" in the 2016 election were the 63 million patriots who love America enough to put Trump in office.

I trust our intelligence agencies more than I trust Donald Trump, and everyone of them pointed to “unprecedented” interference by the Russians on behalf of the Trump campaign. If you put your faith in a singular being, more than in the agencies who have been tasked with protecting this country for decades upon decades, then so be it.
The Party who has changed, and changed drastically, is the one who now kowtows to a solitary leader. The Republican Party of 2004 is a distant memory from todays Trumpublicans.
