The share of Americans who say Congress should let Trump complete his term has dipped to 39%, from 50% in July.
President Donald J. Trump stops to talk to reporters and members of the media as he walks from the Oval Office to board Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House on Thursday, Sept 12, 2019 in Washington, DC.Most Americans – including one in five Republicans – now back an impeachment inquiry or already believe Congress should remove President Donald Trump from office, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows.
That represents a gradual, not dramatic, shift in opinion. But it shows that, after the political hazards of the Trump-Russia investigation appeared to dissipate during the summer, the president faces new and potentially more-threatening trouble over Ukraine. The telephone poll of 800 American adults was conducted Oct. 4-6 following last week's release of a partial transcript of Trump's July 25 call with Ukraine's president and text messages by his diplomats. Some shifts fall within the survey's 3.87 percentage-point margin for error.But the shifts moved in similar directions. Trump's overall approval rating ticked down to 43% from 45% last month; among Republicans, it fell to 84% from 90%.
Similarly, most Democrats and independents say Trump has not been honest about his actions on Ukraine. Just 19% of Republicans agree, while 71% do not. So 52% of suburbanites favor an impeachment inquiry at the least, while 52% of rural residents oppose it. Two-thirds of those under age 35 back an inquiry, while 50% of those aged 50-64 oppose it.
