Public Support For Impeachment Grows After Nancy Pelosi Backs Inquiry

Support for impeaching President Trump, especially among Democrats, is up modestly in the wake of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) announcement that she supports an “official impeachment inquiry,” a new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds.

Trying to gauge public opinion about a poorly understood, fast-moving story rarely lends itself to easy takeaways. Polls on impeachment vary massively depending on how they’re worded, and tracking polls can and do fluctuate even when there’s no underlying cause. Other surveys released this week don’t yet add up to a clear consensus about how Americans are reacting to the latest news. CONT.
