Americans Back Trump Impeachment Inquiry — And Biden Probe: IBD/TIPP Poll

Half of Americans think President Donald Trump's effort to get Ukraine to investigate potential 2020 election rival Joe Biden is an impeachable offense, the October IBD/TIPP Poll found. But the Ukraine scandal has yet to hurt Trump's approval rating or 2020 election prospects. In fact, Trump cut Biden's advantage in a head-to-head matchup nearly in half compared to the September poll. And a solid majority favors a probe of Biden and his son.

IBD/TIPP found that 50% see Trump's actions as rising to the level of an impeachable offense, compared to 46% who don't. Independents were split, with 46% saying it's impeachable and 47% who disagree.


A wider majority, 55% to 44%, supported the House decision to open a Trump impeachment inquiry. Independents backed the move, 53% to 45%.
