On Tuesday, The Washington Post released a new poll evaluating how Americans view the impeachment inquiry underway in the House. Since we last polled on the question in July, there was a substantial increase in support for an inquiry, across partisan groups. …
There is no question that polls after Pelosi’s announcement show more support for an inquiry than polls did beforehand. Using poll data aggregated by FiveThirtyEight, we can see that clearly. At the end of July, support for an impeachment inquiry was in the 30-to-40-percent range. After Pelosi’s announcement, it is over 50 percent.
But Pelosi’s announcement did not happen in a vacuum. CONT.
