Support For Trump's Impeachment Higher Than For Nixon/Clinton As Official Proceedings Start


The chart above and post below are from Axios.com. It's not good news for Donald Trump.

Public support for President Trump's impeachment is higher than it was for Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton when the House launched impeachment inquiries against them.
  • Why it matters: Support for impeachment of Trump is still less than half the country — 44% in the Monmouth University poll shown here; 47% in a CNN poll. And the polling reflects a 50-50 country. But the Ukraine scandal is pushing the numbers up.
  • Per CNN: "The change since May has largely come among independents and Republicans. ... [S]upport for impeachment and removal has risen 11 points to 46% among independents and 8 points to 14% among Republicans."
Keep in mind: A majority of the public didn't support impeaching Nixon until a few weeks before he resigned.
