77% of Democrats and 72% of Republicans said they are more concerned about politics than entertained by them.

70% of Democrats plan to watch some or all of the impeachment proceedings, while 49% of Republicans have no plans to watch.

On Sept. 24, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced that the House of Representatives was moving forward with a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. As television networks prepare to cover impeachment proceedings, new polling finds that while much of the public — especially Democrats and those with an interest in politics and public affairs — is eager to tune in, the lion’s share of Republicans would rather sit this one out.

An Oct. 3-5 Morning Consult/The Hollywood Reporter survey found that a majority of the 2,200 adults surveyed — 53 percent — plan to watch some or all of the impeachment proceedings. Seventy percent of Democrats said they plan to check out at least some of the coverage, while nearly half of Republicans (49 percent) said they did not plan to watch the impeachment proceedings at all.

The poll’s margin of error is 2 percentage points.
