The only people "surging for impeachment" are the ones that hate him and that fact that he won in the first place.
Yeah, it can't be that he continually spits on the Constitution.

64% agree that his conduct is either a “very serious” or “somewhat serious” problem.

My feeling support for impeachment will only rise.

As I wrote before, Trump will be his own worst enemy.


He will only become more unhinged.

I think you should pay attention to the 51% of Independents who do not favor it in this poll rather than the democrats.

64% think Trump's interactions with Ukraine are a serious problem. Only 36% think it's not serious.

Numbers will change when more information is released.

ABC News-Ipsos survey, which was released Sunday morning, found that 43 percent of Americans said that Trump's interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are a "very serious" problem, while 21 percent described them as "somewhat serious."

Meanwhile, 36 percent of respondents said the revelations are not serious.

sorry.....you apparently don't know how such polls work.

Other than Rasmussen and a few outliers, polling firms want to continue doing their jobs. They want to be respected for their methods and results. It's not a perfect science but it is as close as it can be.

As one example, a few elections back 538 was 100% with every single Senate race. Even the 2016 POTUS election was within their margin of error.

Data doesn't mean everything....BUT, considering that "one side" has been constantly posting here that Americans do not and will not support this, the trend is not your friend.

Interesting. One aways wonders how many Americans approve of this or that. In other words, where is the bottom?

Given the numbers for two years I imagined it would be hard for Trump to poll at less than 39-40% on ANY issue - after all, if insulting war heroes, grabbing P and the thousands of other things didn't change their minds, why would a silly issue like "pay for play" with Taxpayer money and National Security do so?

We may get to find out where that bottom is. I would be happily surprised if low-information voters learned something but I wouldn't bet on it.

The Great Recession, two wars and the breaking of virtually everything got GW down to about 30% - so I am considering that the very very bottom. One must realize that a lot of people in this country make their living from their relationship to the money involved (resource extraction, military industrial complex, etc.), so it would never get down to 10 or 20%.

It's interesting to look at the Nixon numbers. He bottomed out at 24%. GW at 30% (28% actually)......

So for all those people who keep talking about a "divided country", some historical study may be wise. It may be simply that the "office of the president" was given a bunch of extra slack by some voters but now that red may be on the way out?

The real question here is whether Congress and the Senate will follow the lead of the public....they do, after all, represent the People.
