Public opinion on the United States relationship with Russia has barely budged over the last several weeks, despite a series of congressional hearings about the Kremlins possible interference in the 2016 election and the Donald Trump administrations connections to Moscow.

Americans currently say, 43 percent to 30 percent, that the Trump administration s relationship with Russia is a legitimate issue, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov survey . Forty-seven percent consider that relationship to be at least a somewhat serious problem, although only 29 percent believe it to be very serious.

Theyre close to split, 35 percent to 31 percent, on whether Congress should prioritize investigating Russias role in the election or the leaking of classified information about that role to journalists.

All those numbers are similar to those from a March poll taken just after the FBI confirmed it was investigating possible ties between Trump associates and Russian government officials.
