Like in Congress, voter support for impeachment was largely divided along party lines. Eighty-five percent of Democrats said they approved of impeachment, while just 17 percent of Republicans said the same.

Independents were fairly divided. Forty-eight percent said they approved of impeachment, while 41 percent disapproved of it.

A total of 1,387 registered voters were surveyed between Dec. 19 and Dec. 20, which came after the House voted to approve articles of impeachment against Trump this week. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

The House voted this week mostly along party lines to impeach the president for abuse of power in his dealings with Ukraine and obstruction of Congress during the impeachment inquiry.

For the president to be removed from office, more than two-thirds of the GOP-led Senate would have to vote for his ouster following a trial in the upper chamber.
