A poll released Tuesday found an overwhelming majority of U.S. voters want special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report to be made public.
The Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday found that 84 percent of voters think the report should be released while 9 percent said they do not.
Republicans had the most skepticism for the report being made public, with 75 percent saying it should and 17 percent saying it should not. On the Democratic side, 93 percent of voters said they think the findings should be made public while only 4 percent do not.

The poll also asked voters if they thought Mueller’s investigation was a “witch hunt,” as Trump frequently called it over the past couple years.
Forty-nine percent of total voters said they thought it was a legitimate investigation, while 43 percent viewed it as a political witch hunt. The separation was stark when broken down by party. Eighty-four percent of Democrats saw the investigation as legitimate while 83 percent of Republicans saw it as a “political witch hunt.”
Attorney General William Barr released a four-page summary of the 22-month investigation Sunday that concluded Trump did not collude with Russia. Mueller also declined to determine whether Trump obstructed justice, and Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded there was insufficient evidence to show the president committed a crime.
There has been largely bipartisan support for the report being released, with the House voting this month 420-0 to release the findings. With Democrats demanding the report’s release, Barr reportedly plans to make public a version of Mueller’s report within “weeks, not months.”
The survey of 1,358 voters has a 3.3 percent margin of error and was conducted from March 21-25. Only one of the five days of polling included voters’ takes after the release of Barr’s summary.
