What Americans Think Of The Biden Impeachment Inquiry - eviltoast

Perhaps most worryingly for Republicans, most Americans don’t think an impeachment inquiry into Biden is warranted right now. A GBAO/Fabrizio, Lee & Associates poll for The Wall Street Journal conducted in late August found that 52 percent of Americans oppose impeaching Biden, and only 41 percent are in favor. More recently, a YouGov poll conducted on September 13 found that 41 percent of Americans oppose impeaching Biden, 44 percent are in support and 15 percent don’t know. In early October 2019, when Trump’s first impeachment was getting underway, Americans were more closely divided, according to our polling tracker. And in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, majorities of Americans supported Trump’s impeachment; a slim majority of Americans even consistently supported removing Trump from office before the end of his term.

    It sounds shitty for Biden (and the dems), too. The percentage supporting impeachment from August to September went up. Granted, those were different polls, and even with the same poll would likely be within the margin of error, but tit means that the unfounded smear campaign from the Republicans is at least holding steady, and possibly gaining ground. That sucks.
