When it comes to voters' opinions on President Trump's impeachment, quite a lot has changed in a matter of days.
In a new Quinnipiac national survey of voters released Monday, 47 percent said Trump should be impeached and removed from office, while 47 percent said he shouldn't be. A previous Quinnipiac poll released five days earlier on Sept. 25 showed a 20-point gap, with 37 percent saying Trump should be impeached and removed, and 57 percent saying he shouldn't.

The impeachment inquiry has the support of 52 percent of voters in this Quinnipiac poll. At the same time, when asked if they believe members of Congress who support Trump's impeachment are doing so on the basis of facts or on the basis of partisan politics, 56 percent said the latter.
This is the latest poll showing increased support for impeachment, with a CNN poll released Monday finding 47 percent of Americans support Trump's impeachment and removal, up from 41 percent in May; the same percentage of Americans had previously supported Trump's impeachment in a CNN survey in September 2018.
Quinnipiac's poll was conducted by speaking to 1,115 registered voters nationwide over the phone from Sept. 27-29. The margin of error is 3.6 percentage points. Read the full results at Quinnipiac.
