The surge largely comes from Democrats, 90 per cent of whom are now in favour of impeaching Trump, according to Quinnipiac, up from 73 per cent on 25 September. Independents are now 42 per cent in favour, up from 34 per cent (with 58 per cent opposed) while just seven per cent of Republicans are in favour of impeachment, although even that low number is up three percentage points in a week.
