Should the Democrats in Congress accept the finding of the special counsel or contest the finding and do another investigation?
More than two-thirds (68%) of registered voters said they wanted them to "Accept the finding" and forego any further investigations.
A Washington Post-Schar School Poll poll asked
Do you think Democrats in the House of Representatives should continue to investigate whether Trump interfered with the Russia investigation in a way that amounts to obstructing justice, or should they stop investigating this issue?
and found that Americans are essentially evenly split with 49% saying "continue" and 48% saying "stop." But when they asked
On the issue of obstruction of justice, Special Counsel Mueller's report was inconclusive. After reading the report, Attorney General Barr said there was not enough evidence to charge President Trump. Do you think Attorney General Barr's decision not to charge the president should stand, or Congress should continue to investigate obstruction of justice by the president?
they found that 48% said that "Barr's decision should stand" while 46% said "continue to investigate."
Further a NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that a majority of Americans are satisfied with Mueller’s findings, including a majority of Independents. 45% of Democrats were "not satisfied" (imagine being so overwhelmed with TDS that you are actually upset that your president isn't a foreign agent).
This is confirmed by the afore-mentioned Washington Post-Schar School poll that found that most Americans accept the conclusions of the Mueller probe but with 41% (most of who are Democrats) refusing to accept them.
And then there is the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, which has been asking the same question every month since December 2019, namely:
Based on what you have seen, read, or heard about special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, has it given you more doubts about Donald Trump’s presidency or not?
In December (and IIRC January and February) 50% said it has created more doubts but since the release of Mueller's conclusions now only 36% say that Mueller’s work has created more doubts and 57% say it hasn’t. Essentially all that is left are the liberals who as the NPR poll showed are largely unhappy with the report.
Finally, a poll conducted on behalf of CBS News found that a majority of Americans, 54%, think that the Mueller probe was politically motivated job rather than justified. This agrees with a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll which revealed that half of Americans agree with Trump's contention that he has been the victim of a "witch hunt."
