Public support for impeachment drops as House votes against Trump

The House has voted to impeach President Trump. This was always going to be the result, but that doesn’t mean the public supports it. In fact, a recent poll suggests the opposite.

Less than half of the public said in a CNN poll that they support impeaching Trump. That’s a five percentage point drop from mid-November, when the House Intelligence Committee concluded its public hearings. Opposition to impeachment is now at 47%, and 50% said there’s nothing more that could come from the proceedings that will change their minds.
