NEW: NBCNews poll: American public views Trump-Ukraine case as serious, but half say the president shouldn't be removed from office; public's overall views of Donald Trump and Joe Biden remain virtually unchanged.
“What’s powerful about this poll is what has not changed,” said Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart and his firm, Hart Research AssociatesBut Hart cautions that it is still early.
That includes 73 percent of Democrats, 55 percent of independents and even 21 percent of Republicans. “Americans view these allegations as being serious and having merit,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates. When narrowed down to what they support based upon what they know today, 43 percent believe Congress should impeach and remove the president from office, while 49 percent say he shouldn’t be impeached and should remain in office.Among independents, 45 percent say he shouldn’t be removed from office, versus 39 percent who say he should.
