Public support for an impeachment inquiry of President Trump jumped after Democrats announced a probe into his conduct. Several recent polls show a larger share of the U.S. public, in one case a majority, backs the probe into Trump’s alleged abuses.
The apparent shift in sentiment on impeachment comes as Democrats try to limit potential 2020 electoral backlash from moving forward with proceedings. Pelosi had called impeachment "divisive" until support for an inquiry swelled within her caucus. Meanwhile, Trump allies argue the proceedings could help the president and Republicans running against pro-impeachment Democrats in swing districts.
As they start the probe, Democrats are trying to balance a desire to show they are taking their time to find facts with a reluctance to let an impeachment inquiry drag on for too long. It is unclear whether longer proceedings would help the president politically.
