The figures vary wildly by political affiliation, but overall there has been an uptick in support for the process.
James Clyburn, the Democratic Majority Whip in the U.S. House of Representatives, said Sunday during an appearance onthat the goal among Democrats is to bring impeachment charges only if it's supported by the public. He added that the House isn't making its decision based on whether the Senate would ultimately vote in favor of the charges.
“We think that we have to bring the public along. We do believe that if we sufficiently, effectively educate the public, then we will have done our jobs and we can move on an impeachment vote and it can stand. And maybe it can be what needs to be done to incentivize the Senate to act.” When asked by host James Tapper if he believed that impeachment proceedings will begin in the House at some point, Clyburn answered in the affirmative., House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said he doesn't believe the public is “there yet” in regards to supporting impeachment.
“We have important oversight work we can do outside the context of impeachment and I think at this point, that is still the preferred course.” U.S. President Donald Trump talks to reporters while hosting workers and members of his cabinet for a meeting in the Oval Office at the White House October 17, 2018 in Washington, DC. The White House said the meeting was on “Cutting the Red Tape, Unleashing Economic Freedom."
