Poll: 45 percent of Americans support Trump impeachment, Fil-Am voters weigh in

NEW YORK — The number of Americans who support the impeachment of President Donald Trump is growing, according to new national polls.

Democrats began an impeachment inquiry last week to look into allegations that Trump leveraged military aid to Ukraine to press for an investigation of leading Democratic presidential opponent, Joe Biden.

Trump’s accuser in a whistleblower complaint – a CIA officer who claimed Trump abused his position.

A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 45% of Americans thought Trump should be impeached — compared to 37% who answered the same question a week ago.

A survey from Quinnipiac University released Monday showed 47% support impeaching Trump, a 10-point swing in favor of impeachment over a five-day period.

A CNN poll also released Monday revealed that 47% support impeaching the president — compared to 41% who were asked the same question in May.

Some New York voters have mixed feelings about Democratic efforts to oust the president.

The CNN poll also showed that 49 percent believe Trump committed an impeachable offense, while 38 percent think Democrats are just out to get Trump at all costs.

48% also believe that the president’s interaction with the Ukranian president was improper use of presidency to gain political advantage against a potential 2020 rival.

But according to New York Times – the alleged Ukraine quid pro quo is not the only foreign government interaction the white house should be worried about.

The report cited two US officials with knowledge of another phone call, claiming: Trump allegedly urged Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison to help the U.S. attorney general in an investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller.

Now, as Democrats are moving quickly with the impeachment inquiry – U.S. House intelligence committee chairman Adam Schiff said he is also determined to get access to Trump’s calls with Russian president Vladimir Putin and other world leaders.

The House intelligence committee has subpoenaed some of the president’s men including his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as well as five other state department officials.
