A new Politico/Morning Consult poll released Thursday afternoon shows that 43 percent of voters believe Congress should start the impeachment process against President Trump, up seven percent from a poll conducted last Friday through Sunday.

Thursday’s poll found that 43 percent of voters do not think Congress should launch impeachment proceedings, down from 49 percent last week, and 13 percent of voters are undecided. The poll was conducted after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced on Tuesday she was opening a formal impeachment inquiry, running from Tuesday night to early Thursday.

Democratic voters especially are favorable to impeachment, with support increasing from 66 percent in the last poll to 79 percent now, but Morning Consult Vice President Tyler Sinclair said this week’s news has “had a significant impact on Republicans and independents, giving credibility to Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. Up from five percent last week, 10 percent of Republicans now support beginning impeachment proceedings, while support among independents has reached 39 percent.”

The poll surveyed 1,640 registered voters, and has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
