The poll showed 58 percent of respondents believe Pelosi should send the articles, while 42 percent said Pelosi should hold up the articles in the House.

Pelosi withheld the articles immediately after the House impeached Trump last month in an effort to give Senate Democrats leverage in their talks with Republicans about how to conduct a trial in the upper chamber.

The news over impeachment comes roughly one month before the Iowa Democratic caucuses in February.

Harvard CAPS/Harris polling director Mark Penn Mark PennThe 7 keys to victory in the presidential race Biden leads Trump on law and order, coronavirus: poll Majority expect to see coronavirus vaccine in 2021: poll MORE told The Hill that impeachment could weigh on the minds of voters in the general election.

“It’s clear from the polling that impeachment gridlock won’t sit well with the voters,” Penn said. “Win or lose they want it to move forward and overwhelmingly think [former President] Clinton rules should apply.”

The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey was conducted online within the U.S. among a representative sample of 2,010 registered voters between Dec. 27 and Dec. 29 by the Harris Poll.

Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income, employment, education, political party and political ideology where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.

The sampling margin of error of the poll is 2 percentage points.
