i. An Emerson University survey found a . . . more extreme flip among independents.
In October, independents supported impeachment 48 percent to 35 percent in Emerson’s polling. In the new poll released this week, independents opposed it by a 49 percent to 34 percent margin. In that time, overall support for impeaching Trump swung from 48 percent in favor and 44 percent against to 45 percent in opposition to impeachment and 43 percent in favor.
ii. But perhaps most alarming for Democrats is a new survey of Wisconsin from Marquette University. In Wisconsin, a key swing state in next year’s election, Marquette found that 40 percent supported impeaching Trump and removing him from office, while 53 percent opposed it. In October, before the hearings began, support was at 44 percent and opposition was at 51 percent.
[b] The Marquette survey [also] found Trump leading in Wisconsin against three top Democratic challengers [for President] after trailing all of them in the previous poll.[/b]
(*above boldfaced to scare Democrats - DD)
Support for impeachment among Republicans and independents in the survey was mostly steady, but support among Democrats dropped by 7 points.
[c] The Marquette survey follows a New York Times–Siena College poll that found majorities in the key swing states of Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona and Florida oppose removing the president from office through impeachment.
