Support for impeachment rises seven points to 43 percent in new poll

A new poll on Thursday found support for impeachment proceedings rose 7 points, while opposition to impeachment fell 6 points, compared to a survey conducted over the weekend.

The Morning Consult poll was conducted on Sept. 24-26 at a time when House Democrats started a formal impeachment inquiry over a whistleblower complaint involving President Trump's call with Ukraine's leader.

The poll showed 43 percent now support the start of impeachment proceedings, up 7 points from a weekend survey. Meanwhile, opposition to impeachment fell 6 points to 43 percent.

Support for impeachment grew among Democratic and Republican voters alike. Democratic support reached 79 percent, a 13-point jump. Meanwhile, the number of Republicans backing impeachment doubled to 10 percent.


Other polls show greater support, bot the trend is in the right direction.

I think impeachment approval will go much higher before we're done with him. Except for the 10-15% deadend Trumpers. They're just too dumb to know what's going on.
