Overall, 46 percent of Americans said they supported impeachment and 40 percent said they opposed it.

Support for impeachment was relatively steady among Republicans and Democrats over the past week but it surged among independents, a group that includes people who neither identify as Democrats nor Republicans and do not favour either party when they vote.

Among independents, 45 percent said in the latest poll they supported impeachment and 32 percent said they opposed it, the strongest level of support recorded in more than a year.

A little more than one in three independents had said they were in favour of impeachment in more than a dozen previous Reuters/Ipsos polls since June 2018.

1. HIS 40% that still support HIM are very scary creatures.

2. Even when he let office, Nixon still had support--fairily decent surprising percentage.

5. Nixon did no where near the damage drumpf has done/will do to America.

The carnage continues every day he remains in the Oval Office.

7. Well, escalating the Vietnam war by expanding it into Laos and Cambodia, where his actions killed

100 thousand Cambodians, led to the genocide, displaced a million... Rachel Maddow did a special
on the treason he committed to win election—his war on anti-war protestors (Kent State), and in the end he was drunk, talking to paintings. Incalculable damage.

3. Some of the 40% who oppose impeachment may think it would hurt Democrats or

be a waste of time so close to an election. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of those 40% still support Trump.

Remember, until the last couple of weeks many Democratic officials were against impeachment because they feared it would unify Trump's base and backfire on Dems especially those in swing districts.

4. What Nixon did was a drop in

The bucket compared to the criminality that Trump and his gang have done.

This is far past possible illegality. Their is a gang of Russian Mafia writ large.

8. You are thinking Watergate. There was so much more.

[True Blue American]

9. No, I said Nixon

I watched that happen,too. Nixon did have redeeming qualities until he drifted into paranoia, then drunkenness, talking to the pictures.

He did decent things, even wanted health care. Trump has no redeeming qualities. He is a Mafia thug.

[emmaverybo]

10. Cambodia. And treason. But yes, some redeeming including intelligence. LBJ social programs great,

but escalated the war.

6. It is no longer gray quid pro quo.

It is now pure black and white! The 40% drumpf supporters are hardcore racists and will remain so regardless. drumpf has empowered hatred and racism and they love it!
