    This poll speaks for itself. I see so much outrage over Russian interference with the election. Did anyone here actually vote for Trump due to the work of the trolls?

    Since no one from this forum voted for Trump, except RL and Rojo??, I think you already got your answer.

    Beside, I think you are missing the point. We shouldn't at all allow any foreign body to interfere with our election. The impact is a very important consideration, but it does not need to have a measured impact to take that simple stance.

    Because a clutchfans poll is the way to prove that Russian interference had no impact?

    And here's a poll? How many people are concerned that Russia attempted to influence our elections with propaganda that the GOP leaders retweeted?

    How can Russians troll if they don't even speak English so good?

    Latest effort to spin trump's story and excuse anyone from voting for him... went from "no collusion" to "ok, so, there was collusion but it didn't change any trump votes"...

    latest effort to spin democrats story. It went from there was definitely a collusion to there was unknowingly collusion to well there was no collusion but the Russians did try to interfere so therefore we should impeach Trump

    This place isn't for discussion. It's just place where liberals come to yank each other off. When someone disrupts their bubble with facts they don't like they lose their emotions and get triggered. Now I see why other conservatives rarely visit this bubble. Total **** hole. I'm gone

    I never claimed it would prove anything. There is so much outrage here, I was curious how many weak minded people changed their vote.

    Given no one here voted for Trump, how can they change their vote against him? RL is the only one who admitted to voting for Trump I believe.

    The Russians main goal was to create division and seeing the behavior of Democrats after election I say they've accomplished their mission

    "Weak minded"? Curious description to an audience that still seems to stick to a story that they didn't vote for the republican candidate for president...

    I have always said I voted for him. I did it as a vote against Hillary at the time but now would vote for him without issue.

    When talking about changing the results from the election it doesn't even have to be about people changing their votes to make a difference. If it persuaded some people that Hillary wasn't a candidate to vote for, and they stayed home and voted for nobody that would also make a difference.

    If a person changed their vote based on the work of the trolls then I think weak minded is an accurate description. So far one person would fit that description.

    Now there are two. I should have made it a public poll so we could see who voted for Trump but will not admit it.

    It would be interesting to understand how many people receive their news and are influenced by the news they receive via social media sources including Facebook. I'd guess that a significant number of conservatives/republicans/trump supporters do get their information from blogs, twitter, facebook and other social media/non-MSM sources. I would be surprised if they were not influenced by such sources.

    Apologies, my original response was incorrect, I have corrected it. To be sure I think these sources did influence people.
