WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two polls released Tuesday show the House’s impeachment hearings are having minimal impact on public sentiment, with one conducted over the weekend revealing opposition to impeachment growing among independents.

A Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted Nov. 15 to 17 after the first week of public hearings found 47% of respondents support the House impeaching President Donald Trump, compared to 44% who oppose such action.

When asked about the Senate removing Trump, support increased slightly to 48%, but that number was 2 percentage points lower than support expressed for removal in a Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted a week earlier. In that week, opposition among independents grew by 10 percentage points.

An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll conducted Nov. 11 to 15 — the latter half of which is when the first two public impeachment hearings were held — found similar and hardened views about impeachment.

The poll, which has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points, showed 45% of respondents saying Trump should be impeached and removed from office and 44 opposed or unsure.
