“An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.”

Perhaps it should be “An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the Independents considers it to be at a given moment in history.”

The most recent Quinnipiac poll shows that Independents do NOT support impeachment.

4. Do you think that President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, or don't you think so?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Yes / Impeached	90	42	7
No	5	50	92

13. If think Trump should not be impeached and removed, do you feel that way mainly because you don't think it's been shown that he did anything serious enough to impeach him, or mainly because impeaching him would be too disruptive to our nation?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Not Serious Enough		58	73
Too Disruptive		16	6

NOTE: Independents do not support impeachment because they don't think the charges rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

11. As you may know, the House of Representatives has begun a formal impeachment inquiry to determine whether or not to bring impeachment charges against President Trump. Do you approve or disapprove of this impeachment inquiry?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Approve	95	50	8
Disapprove	4	45	91

NOTE: Despite not supporting impeachment, Independents do narrowly support the impeachment inquiry.

12. Do you think members of Congress who support impeaching President Trump are doing so more on the basis of the facts of the case, or more on the basis of partisan politics?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Facts	67	37	4
Partisan Politics	25	55	91

NOTE: Independents in this poll believe that partisan politics is behind impeachment (by +18), but narrowly support it anyway (by +5).
