I have seen comments from republicans on Facebook saying they ignore the news.

A new poll shows that only four in 10 Republicans believe President Donald Trump talked to the Ukrainian president about investigating political rival Joe Biden, even though Trump has acknowledged doing so.

That compares with 85% of Democrats and 61% of independents surveyed by Monmouth University Poll who said Trump "probably did" mention the possibility of an investigation into the Biden family during a July phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky.

Trump directly acknowledged on Sept. 22 that he spoke with Zelensky about Biden, four days before the White House released a summary of the call. According to that reconstruction of the conversation, Trump told Zelensky there was "a lot of talk" about Biden's son's activities in Ukraine and that he was directing his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr to assist in the inquiry “to get to the bottom of it.”

"A lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great,” Trump said.
