WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Almost half of American voters do not agree with the conclusion of US intelligence agencies that the government of Russia is responsible for cyberattacks related to
the 2016 election, a new Morning Consult/Politico poll revealed on Tuesday. When asked which statement came closest to their views, 46 percent said, "We cannot be sure about who is
primarily responsible for hacking and cyber-attacks that may have impacted the US election." Respondents said tracing cyber-attacks is complicated and the intelligence groups now
claiming Russian meddling "are the same ones that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq." Twenty-nine percent of respondents agreed with the statement,
"We know with near certainty that Russia is responsible for hacking and cyber-attacks that impacted the US election."
