New Poll Shows Majority of Americans Support Trump Impeachment if President Suspended Ukraine Aid Over Biden Inquiry

A majority of Americans support impeaching President Donald Trump if he suspended military aid to Ukraine to pressure the foreign nation to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, according to a new poll.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Tuesday the opening of a formal impeachment inquiry against Trump in response to the Ukraine controversy. If it's found that Trump did use his presidential power to force a foreign leader to help take down a political rival, 55 percent of U.S. adults said they would support removing him from office, according to a recent YouGov survey.

Forty-four percent of those polled said they'd "strongly support" removing Trump if the allegations are true, while another 11 percent said they'd "somewhat support" it.

On the other side, 20 percent of adults surveyed said they'd "strongly oppose" impeaching Trump for such an action, and 6 percent said they'd "somewhat oppose" it.

The survey showed support for impeachment was largely partisan, with 66 percent of those who "strongly support" removing Trump identifying as Democrat. Just 22 percent who "strongly support" impeachment were Republican.

The poll was conducted on Tuesday, the same day the House of Representatives launched its formal impeachment inquiry. It's just the fourth time in U.S. history that a president has faced a serious risk of being removed from office.

1. Conduct the investigation over night and file articles by 6 AM!!

The bastard admitted everything. No need for an investigation. Get it done fast before the public changes its mind.

9. The 22% was conditional on the allegations being true. Almost there!

3. Wait for the 6 months of inquiry, the number will hit 60%

... A new poll released Wednesday found that while more than half of voters do not approve of the job Trump is doing in the White House, only 37% say that he should be impeached and removed from office. Fifty-seven percent do not support impeachment ..."

14. Mike Murphy, McCain campaign, said that's

what he was told, but only if the impeachment vote was a secret ballot.

13. Implications for 2020 - Senate fallout

Ya' think John Cornyn can read polls? Won't we flush 2 or 3 of these Big Crooked Business Senators down the loo?

15. This poll is misleading

It asks the question that "if he suspended military aid to Ukraine to pressure the foreign nation to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son" A great number of people do not think that's been proven even though it probably appears obvious to most here.

16. The majority always did--the majority didn't vote for (t)him.

They have a vocal majority by virtue of the Republican owned media only.
