Americans remain divided on impeaching President Trump, poll says.
Not surprisingly, the poll shows a significant divide by party on these questions, with Democrats overwhelmingly believing the president has been dishonest and guilty of wrongdoing, and Republicans overwhelmingly defending him.
“The American public has reached a hung jury,” said Hart. “Not innocent, not guilty, and they haven’t reached a consensus.” By party, 92 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of independents believe Trump hasn’t been truthful, versus only 23 percent of Republicans. Among Democratic respondents, 30 percent want impeachment hearings now, while 50 percent prefer to wait for more evidence.
Trump gets higher marks on the economy, with 51 percent of all respondents approving of his handling of the issue. For former Vice President Joe Biden, who announced his presidential bid in late April, 47 percent are enthusiastic/comfortable, versus a combined 49 percent who have some reservations or are very uncomfortable .
