As the House moves to a new, more public phase of its impeachment inquiry, the country is sharply divided along partisan lines over whether President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The poll finds that 49 percent of Americans say the president should be impeached and removed from office, while 47 percent say he should not. That finding is almost identical to support for impeachment in a poll by The Post and the Schar School taken earlier in October.
Among Democrats, support for removing the president from office is overwhelming, with 82 percent in favor and 13 percent opposed. Among Republicans, it is almost the reverse, with 82 percent opposed and 18 percent in favor, even as the presidents approval rating reached a new low among members of his party. Independents are closely divided, with 47 percent favoring removal and 49 percent opposed.

Good news! I guess Trump's "95% approval" (according to him) is yet another myth leaving his lips!

(90,346 posts)2. K&R, This poll is an outlier for independents and impeachment. 74% is around Nixon's approval

(56,828 posts)3. 74% among the GOP is a disaster for Trump
Bush jr didn't fall below 80% with the GOP until after Katrina.
If these numbers stay consistent in the mid 70s, or drop further, look for a few retiring Congressional reps to join Justin Amash in supporting impeachment.

How low can it go?

(33,580 posts)5. If 15% to 20% of the republicans don't vote for Trump
not that they will vote for the Democrat, but if he only gets GOP voters in the 80 percentile, he loses, bigly.

(3,678 posts)7. "Everybody thought Donald Trump was unbeatable, right?"
"But we put together an impeachment inquiry. What are his numbers today? His numbers are dropping. Why? Because hes untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought." (McCarthy riff)
It's a shitty comparison because Trump is a criminal and Hillary wasn't. But it's still fun to throw this back in their faces. :p
