While less than 40 percent of voters support impeaching Trump, the president is still in severe political peril, a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows
Over the past few months, House Democrats have been building support for impeachment within the caucus. But they haven’t brought the American people with them.
Among Democrats, however, 7 in 10 support beginning impeachment proceedings. Only 18 percent of Democratic voters oppose impeachment. Among registered voters who said they intend to participate in a Democratic presidential primary or caucus in their states, 68 percent want Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump, while 20 percent do not.
“Initiating impeachment proceedings against President Trump remains a popular move among the Democratic base, but it won’t necessarily help them win voters across the aisle,” said Tyler Sinclair, Morning Consult’s vice president. He added that the “numbers have marginally changed from July following Robert Mueller’s testimony on Capitol Hill, after which 34 percent of independents and 8 percent of Republicans supported impeachment.
While less than 40 percent of voters support impeaching Trump, the president is still in severe political peril, the poll shows. His approval rating is 43 percent and has been mired in the low 40s for most of the summer.
