The Twitter poll comes as President-elect Donald Trump's refusal to accept US Intelligence reports that claim Russia is behind the DNC hacking escalated tensions between the incoming and outgoing White House administrations.
Harwood, who is also a contributor for the New York Times, launched the poll on Thursday and it received more than 19,000 votes within 14 hours.
WikiLeaks is, so far, hugely surpassing US Intelligence officials, accumulating 74 per cent of the vote. Only a quarter of those polled say they believe US Intelligence officials.
Several mails between Harwood and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta were exposed in the Podesta emails released online by WikiLeaks ahead of the November election. A search for John Harwood in the tranche of Podesta emails garners more than 200 results.
The data published by WikiLeaks is also alleged by US intelligence agencies to be part of a Russian campaign to interfere with the US election.
Harwood's poll appears to have had a different effect than the one he was hoping for, as many Twitter users took the opportunity to lambast him for his cosy relationship with the Clinton campaign.
Among the emails revealed in the Podesta Leaks was a friendly message from Harwood comparing running times with Podesta, telling the Clinton campaign chair that he is using him as "a benchmark for being in good shape."
In another mail, Harwood dismissed Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state as unimportant, saying it's "amazing" that "some people still think it's worth burning so much interview time with person most likely to be next president on her emails".
Other emails show the men arranging to meet for dinner and drinks, with several more discussing their mutual love for running.
up to the task because no one else would do it.
Let's see here John, you idiot, the outgoing pseudo wanabe political commissar for the corporate intelligence agency just claimed that telling the truth was part of Russian Plan. Now if that's not the ultimate in double speak; when truth becomes the weapon of a quote "enemy," then I just don't know what else is.
So we are then to believe lies as opposed to the truth and somehow in your sick mind that is better than knowing what is real from what isn't?
You're an imbecile John, just a complete fool. Go get a real job like and then get back in touch with reality. May I suggest getting off the meds as the first step in recovery you blithering jackass.
