Why don’t Americans want to impeach Trump?

Americans’ heightened aversion to impeachment — 29 percent favor impeachment in the latest Quinnipiac poll, while 66 percent do not — seems unrelated to a belief in President Trump’s innocence or approval of his performance. In the same poll in which 66 percent oppose impeachment, including 38 percent of Democrats, 55 percent (96 percent of Democrats) disapprove of his performance, 57 percent think Trump committed crimes before being elected (91 percent of Democrats) and 46 percent (92 percent of Democrats) think he committed crimes while in office. CONT.
