SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – A new NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll found that 62 percent of Americans think President Donald Trump is being untruthful about the ongoing Russia investigation.

The public’s view of the president’s truthfulness has taken a slight shift since August, when 56 percent of registered voters said they doubted his honesty concerning Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

Of the 62 percent who believe the president hasn’t been completely forthcoming, nearly a quarter of them are Republicans.
