In reply to the discussion: Why the Skittish Caucus is so Skittish About Impeachment. [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)133. Can you post a link to that poll? Because this one from June 8 says otherwise.
Democrats are split as to whether impeachment should begin (36%) or investigations should continue (37%). House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., continues to try to hold the line against impeachment proceedings, saying she favors another I-word investigations.
A slim majority of Americans (52%) want one of the following: to begin impeachment proceedings (22%), to continue investigations into potential political wrongdoing of Trump (25%) or to publicly reprimand him that is, censure (5%).
