Gallup: Congress Approval, Support for Impeaching Trump Both Up
Gallup ^ | 10/16/2019 | Justin McCarthy

Posted on 10/16/2019 10:51:56 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives work through an impeachment inquiry regarding alleged abuses of office by President Donald Trump, approval of Congress is now at 25%. That is up from 18% in September, prior to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing the impeachment inquiry following news of possible wrongdoing by the president in communications with Ukraine.

Line graph. Percentage of Americans who approve of Congress since January.

The increase in approval of Congress over the past month is the result of a 15-percentage-point jump among Democrats (from 19% to 34%) as well as a smaller increase among independents (from 19% to 25%). Republicans' rating of Congress is stable, at 17%.

This update, from an Oct. 1-13 Gallup poll, also finds that Trump's approval rating remains flat, at 39%, compared with 40% in the late September update. It is on the low end of the 37% to 46% range recorded in 2019 so far, with the 37% readings coming in January during the government shutdown. Currently, 87% of Republicans, 34% of independents and 5% of Democrats approve of the job Trump is doing.

Slim Majority Now Supports Trump's Impeachment and Removal From Office

Public opinion on whether Trump should be impeached remains mixed, but Americans now lean slightly more in favor of impeachment and removal from office compared with where they stood in June.

Currently, 52% say Trump should be impeached and removed from office, while 46% say he should not be. This is roughly the opposite of what Gallup found in June when asked in the context of special counselor Robert Mueller's investigation.

Sane people no longer answer their phones if they don’t recognize the number.

Garbage polling. Random adult polls are never used by serious political polling because they always tender to be mindless recitation of what ever is said in the day's headlines. The only reason to do random adult polls is if you trying to get a poll to validate the current Fake News narrative.

random sample of 1,526 adults, aged 18 and older

So Democrats are happy that the House is talking about impeachment. That’s all this chart says to me.

“random sample of 1,526 adults,”

There is the answer. Not “registered voters”, but “adults”.

How stupid can people possibly be?


Yes, I understand the enemedia, a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC, keeps up this drumbeat 24/7.

But do 25% of the sheeple not work, not own even small retirement accounts and not understand what progress the working man has made in the last three years? Probably, yes.

I don’t think polls measure anything at all.

I think polls are a device of persuasion manufactured to communicate to the public how they ought to feel about something.

It doesn’t surprise me that support is “up”. That’s the message that the Globalist want to send. So that’s what the polls indicate.

This is laughable as other data does not confirm this. This is a MSM organized campaign to attack the President nothing more.

Well most people know nothing except for the crap shoveled by the MSM day after day. So these polls are basically self fulfilling prophecies.

I like the way they changed it from “Should he be impeached” to “Should he be impeached AND removed”. Can’t help wondering if that’s cuz even the President is saying “Bring it! Impeach me! Let’s get moving here! You’re borin’ me, cupcakes!” and there’s just enough folks like me that would say “Yes, he should be impeached” because we and the President all want the fireworks.

I support them impeaching trump, but not for the reasons they may think.

I think Trump is in favor of them impeaching him.

How pathetic has America become as we depend on polls to make decisions and to inform.

Yes the “thong wearing men” on FR will proclaim sky is falling.

WHO didn’t predict this type of POLL at this time? It is like the stack of woman against Kavanaugh and the line of whistleblowers against Trump.

I predict a poll a week for the next month MAGICALLY above the 50% threshold for Impeachment and Removal.

As phony as the Clinton marriage.

Hmmm... I wonder why Nancy didn’t want to schedule a vote on impeachment.

Perhaps she thinks this poll is FAKE NEWS.

Ok. THAT’S IT. Time for him to impeach himself, then pardon himself. Then MOVE ON
