Washington Postlink): A majority of
Americans say they endorse the decision by
House Democrats to begin an impeachment inquiry of
President Trump, and nearly half of all adults also say the
House should take the additional step and recommend that the president be removed from office, according to a
Washington Post-Schar School poll.
The findings indicate that public opinion has shifted quickly against the president and in favor of impeachment proceedings in recent weeks as information has been released about
Trump’s efforts to pressure
Ukrainian government officials to undertake an investigation into former vice president
Joe Biden, a potential 2020 campaign rival, and
Biden’s son
Hunter.
Previous
Post-Schar School or
Post-ABC News polls taken at different points throughout this year found majorities of
Americans opposing the start of an impeachment proceeding, with 37 percent to 41 percent saying they favored such a step. The recent revelations appear to have prompted many
Americans to rethink their position.
The poll finds that, by a margin of
58 percent to 38 percent,
Americans say the
House was correct to undertake the inquiry. Among all adults, 49 percent say the
House should take the more significant step to impeach the president and call for his removal from office. Another 6 percent say they back the start of the inquiry but do not favor removing
Trump from office, with the remainder undecided about the president’s ultimate fate. The results among registered voters are almost identical.
