(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) A new Morning Consult/Politico poll conducted Tuesday-Thursday shows public support for beginning impeachment hearings of Donald Trump has increased by 7 points from a poll conducted last weekend. But the increase in support for beginning impeachment proceedings can largely be explained by a 13% jump in support from registered Democratic voters. There was a slight increase among Republicans and independents. The poll, which began after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced her support for impeachment proceedings on Tuesday, shows 43 percent of voters think Congress should begin the process of impeachment, while an equal number of poll respondents say Congress shouldn’t begin impeachment proceedings. Another 13 percent of voters are undecided. Online interviews for the latest POLITICO/Morning Consult poll began Tuesday night, after Pelosi’s announcement, and ran through early Thursday, with nearly all interviews conducted prior to the public release of a complaint from a whistleblower concerned about Trump’s conduct in dealing with Ukraine. Support for impeachment is up 7 points from the previous poll, which was conducted last Friday through Sunday. In that survey, only 36 percent of voters supported starting impeachment proceedings, while 49 percent opposed them. Does everyone who wants impeachment proceedings to begin also want Trump removed from office? Obviously not. And there will be confusion, as there was when Bill Clinton was impeached, over the difference between impeaching the president and a Senate trial. But the cross-tabs on this poll reveal more of the truth. Among Democratic voters, support for impeachment proceedings has increased 13 points, from 66 percent in the previous poll, to 79 percent now. But, according to Morning Consult vice president Tyler Sinclair, support has also ticked up among other voters. “As more information has emerged about whistleblower allegations against President Trump, support for impeachment proceedings has grown to its highest point since the beginning of the summer,” Sinclair said. “This week’s news cycle had a significant impact on Republicans and independents, giving credibility to Democrats' impeachment inquiry. Up from 5 percent last week, 10 percent of Republicans now support beginning impeachment proceedings, while support among independents has reached 39 percent.” What makes this poll even more suspect is that a large percentage of voters are still unfamiliar with the entire Ukraine story. Only 32 percent of voters surveyed in the new poll say they’ve heard “a lot” about news reports that Trump told senior administration officials to withhold military aid to Ukraine, days before he pressured the country’s president to investigate what he casts as corrupt behavior by former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, who worked with a Ukrainian natural gas company. Politico's headline for their poll is also misleading: "Support for impeachment jumps in new poll." In fact, support for beginning "impeachment proceedings" jumped, not support for impeachment. That's an entirely different question and Politico should have made that clear. The question asked of poll respondents was, "Yes, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings." Not much bias there, huh? The country is split down the middle with a vast majority of Democrats favoring the start of impeachment hearings while a vast majority of Republicans oppose them. Needless to say, if Democrats go ahead and impeach Trump with a solid bloc of Republicans still supporting the president and independents wishy-washy about it, it could have a devastating effect at the polls next November.

Who cares? Certainly not I.
It is a political process and a part of the attempted coup against our President. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

So what? That lying war monger is not much better than Clinton would have been. Besides the president and congress don't run the country. The internation bankers that own the federal reserve and who have used their right to counterfeit money to buy up all the media run the country.
Besides the president and congress don't run the country. The internation(al) bankers that own the federal reserve and who have used their right to counterfeit money to buy up all the media run the country. If you think for one minute if Hillary were in the Oval Office that things would be different than under Obummer you are sadly mistaken. All that would have been accomplished there is the Clinton Crime Cult would still be in operation. Yes I know the President and CONgress do not run the country. Since FDR declared the U.S. to be bankrupt and insolvent they are figureheads. He reports to the bankers and there is no oversight by Congress regarding that office. The REAL enemy of the people has always been the Federal Reserve System. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
