Many Democrats have seized on the Mueller report, declaring it a damning account of executive incompetence and unethical conduct.

The redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia report has finally arrived, and with it a renewed focus on whether Democrats will try to impeach President Donald Trump.

In recent days, a growing number of Democratic presidential candidates have come out in favor of moving toward impeachment, andat least one of them has explicitly called for the House to launch proceedings against Trump. And now that a version of the Mueller report is out, appetites for impeachment appear to be waning even further. A poll released Monday from Morning Consult and Politico found that just 34% of voters support impeaching Trump — a 5-percentage-point drop since January, even as Trump's own approval rating slid to 39%.

Tom Steyer, for instance, the Democratic megadonor who flirted with his own presidential run last year, has spent millions advocating for Trump's impeachment since 2017. "To ignore a President's repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said in a string of tweets Friday that made her the first 2020 presidential candidate to support impeachment.Other Democratic presidential candidates joined Warren's camp soon after.
