The poll also follows others is showing American’s support a impeachment ‘inquiry’….But NOT a removal Trump from office….
I doubt this poll will be in the Real Clear Politics polling average…
That outfit NEVER uses polls that drop Trump’s approval below 40%…..
- The latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey found 47% opposing impeachment hearings and 44% approving. The difference is within the poll’s 3.5% margin of error.
- Just 37% approve of President Trump’s handling of his job, the lowest level of his presidency.
- The poll of 800 Americans nationwide was conducted last week.
Americans by a narrow margin oppose impeachment hearings to remove President Donald Trump from office, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey.
But the CNBC poll of 800 Americans nationwide conducted last week found a significant shift where fewer Americans are opposed to impeachment. It also found a large decline in the president’s overall and economic approval ratings.
The survey found 47% opposing impeachment hearings and 44% approving. The difference is within the poll’s 3.5% margin of error.
The results are much closer than when an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll asked the same question in December 2017, finding 41% approving of impeachment hearings and a majority 54% disapproving.
“The American people are not jumping towards impeachment,” said Micah Roberts, a partner in Public Opinion Strategies who serves as the Republican pollster for the CNBC survey. “They are cautiously moving away from opposing impeachment.”
Update…
Another Poll has Trump’s support holding…
A new Monmouth poll finds President Trump’s approval rating has remained steady in the wake of an official impeachment inquiry launched last week, 41% to 53%.
Support for impeachment has ticked up slightly, with 44% who want to see Trump impeached and 52% who do not.
Said pollster Patrick Murray: “I’ve been saying this for a long time. Fundamental opinion about Donald Trump has been baked in from the very start of his presidency. Almost nothing he’s done has come as a surprise to the American public, which is why we see such little change in his job rating. The question is whether those who want Trump out of office are willing to wait until 2020 and that’s where we see a small shift.”
According to aMonmouth Poll only 4 in 10 of Republicans believe Trump even mentioned Biden in his telephone call with the Ukrainian President.
In other word 60% of Republicans believe either he didn’t or are not sure.
This,despite the fact, that Trump admits that he did talk about Biden.
This type of slavish cult like behavior shows one of the two guiding elements of today’s Republican Party, hatred of the news media.These fanatics refuse to believe what the media report ,even when Trump admits it!
And some here and elsewhere want to believe that when the “facts” are “communicated” to these Cultists they are going to awaken from their trance and support removing their Leader?
There are less people following this story that you may expect and that would reflect in the polls of people saying they “don’t know.”
Not everyone follows this stuff like us.
I hear from Republicans all the time that “the media just wants to make Trump look bad”.
So it males sense that they wouldn’t believe something even Trump said was true if it were simply repeated by a news outlet not named FOX.
There’s a difference though between “no” and “I don’t know” that has to be taken into account.
How many “normal Americans” actually read the transcript as we did?
Nice deflection.
Sure some don’t but a lot do.
The larger point is that there are many Republicans who simply refuse to believe anything the media reports that puts their leader in a negative light or conflicts in any way with what they “want” to believe ,even where in this case, Trump himself admits it!
And that is mindless fanaticism driven by an innate hate that , in my view, ex.plains a lot about the Trump Cultists and the present state of the Republican Party.
That goes both ways for partisans regardless of who is in office. They think they are perfect and anybody critical is either out to get them or “motivated by racial hatred” etc.
I just don’t think the average American knows the details of this Ukraine matter, at least not yet.
I also do not think the average American is going to revolt over impeachment. People seem to expect that Trump will eventually get impeached. (and many. many people do not know the difference between getting impeached and getting thrown out of office so they seem to be basically fine with Trump being thrown out of office)
This is certainly where messaging comes into play though. As this moves towards a vote and an eventual trial, Democrats have to take the lead in explaining what exactly he did and why it is so bad. You have to be able to put it in layman’s terms.
I understand why Adam Schiff felt the need to embellish it in his hearing statement, but that was probably the wrong thing to do.
Yup CG….
Trump is banking on THAT….
Pelosi is afraid of it….
So am I…
You continue to misunderstand what I am saying at nearly every turn.
