The poll found that the increase largely comes from Democrats, 48 percent of whom now want impeachment hearings, compared to 30 percent last month. Just 6 percent of Republicans support holding impeachment hearings now, while 86 percent believe the president should be allowed to finish his term.

A significant number of Americans, 24 percent, still believe that Congress should continue to investigate whether there is enough evidence to hold impeachment hearings in the future, which is down 8 points from last month.
