3:25Now PlayingAmericans are divided 49% to 47% on whether Congress should impeach President Donald Trump and remove him from office, according to a new ABC/Washington Post poll. #Impeachment
But support for impeaching Trump is much higher than it was for Bill Clinton in 1998, when only 27% to 42% were in favor of removing Clinton, according to polls the news organizations conducted then.
The latest survey found support for Trump’s removal jumping to 82% among Democrats, compared with 47% among independents and 18% among Republicans -- showing greater partisan splits than in Clinton’s case.
Disapproval of both Trump and congressional Democrats is high, with 58% critical of Trump’s response to the impeachment inquiry and 50% disapproving of Democrats’ overall handling of the matter.
The poll, conducted Oct. 27-30, has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.7 points.
