Big Partisan Differences on Impeachment

A new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds Democrats and Republicans remain largely splintered on impeaching President Trump, even as nearly half of Americans show little movement on their support or opposition to the move.  Among those who read, saw or heard about Mueller’s testimony, 47% said it made no difference in their views about impeaching the president.

The public hearings had opposing impacts based on partisanship: among Democrats, 48% said they are more likely to support the process of impeachment that could ultimately lead to Trump’s removal from office, 8% said they are less likely to support impeachment and 44% said they feel the same as they did prior to Mueller’s testimony.

Whereas for Republicans, only 3% said they were more likely to support impeachment, 42% said they were less likely, and 54% were unchanged.
