A majority of Republicans believe that Signalgate, the discussing of attack plans against Yemen's Houthi rebels in a messaging app as well as the inadvertent inclusion of a journalist in the conversation, is a serious problem even as top Trump officials continue to downplay it.
Concretely, a poll by YouGov showed that 60% of Republicans said that was the case in their view. The figure is lower than the 72% of Independents and 89% of Democrats, but conveys the seriousness of the matter even among President Donald Trump's most staunch supporters.
