NEW POLL: 58% Now Support Impeachment Inquiry

The Hill reports:

A majority of respondents in a new poll supports the impeachment inquiry into President Trump while almost half back his removal from office. The Washington Post-Schar School poll released early Tuesday found that 58 percent say the House was correct to launch the inquiry, compared to 38 percent who disagreed.

Almost half – 49 percent – said lawmakers in the lower chamber should impeach Trump and call for his removal from office. Just 6 percent support the inquiry, but not Trump’s removal from office.

Pollsters found a partisan divide on the issue, with more than 8 in 10 Democrats endorsing the inquiry and about 7 in 10 Republicans saying they do not support the inquiry. Nearly 8 in 10 Democrats favor a vote to recommend that Trump be removed from office, while almost one-fifth of Republicans agreed.
