Graphic Truth: Do Americans Want Impeachment?

Although there has recently been a small uptick in popular support for impeachment (especially among Republicans), it's still a deeply polarizing issue with no majority for or against. The Democrats are hoping that the investigations' findings will convince more of the public to support impeachment, making it easier for fence-sitting Representatives on both sides of the aisle to vote in favor. At the same time, the White House and most Republicans are banking that the continuing unpopularity of impeachment will mean the process turns into a political trainwreck for the Democrats as the 2020 election approaches. Here's a look at how popular sentiment on impeachment has evolved over the past year, and where things stand now.
