A steady plurality of Americans support impeaching Trump, and a steady majority support the impeachment inquiry

Americans’ feelings on impeachment have hardly shifted in the three weeks that have elapsed since House Democrats’ probe into President Donald Trump began, Insider’s polling has found.

On a weekly basis since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump last month, Insider has polled Americans to gauge where the nation stands on proceedings to remove the president from office.

Each poll has asked a sample of more than 1,000 American adults, “Impeachment is the first step in the process of removing a president from office. Do you think the House of Representatives should impeach President Trump?

  • Week 1: 45.2% of those polled said they “support” or “strongly support” impeachment, and  opposition, and 29.8% said they “oppose” or “strongly oppose” impeachment.
  • Week 2: 47.1% of those polled said they “support” or “strongly support” impeachment, and 29.2% said they “oppose” or “strongly oppose” impeachment.
  • Week 3:  46.6% of those polled said they “support” or “strongly support” impeachment, and 29.5% said they “oppose” or “strongly oppose” impeachment.
