Roundup of the latest impeachment polling, including NEW HuffPost/YouGov survey conducted this week.

Summary: It's now pretty clear that there was a big shift in public opinion, but less clear whether there's continuing momentum.

huffpost.com/entry/trump-im…
On aggregate*, the polls show movement toward impeachment.

Individual pollsters also show consistent movement in the same direction.

*via 538: fivethirtyeight.com/features/do-am…
But! Our second HuffPost/YouGov poll since Pelosi's announcement finds support for impeachment at 44/40. Last week was 47/39. That's within MoE, so I wouldn't take it as a dip, necessarily. But also certainly doesn't suggest support is going to continue to grow at same pace.

New HuffPost/YouGov poll: Impeachment support grows after Pelosi backs inquiry, due mainly to change among Dems.

huffpost.com/entry/impeachm…
Notably, support for impeachment in general (47/39) outweighs support for impeachment specifically due to the Ukraine call (39/38).

Why? There's still a lot of confusion about both impeachment and Ukraine.
Only about half the public knows a vote to impeach would lead to a trial in the Senate. Only 37% say they've heard a lot about Ukraine phone call.

💥Trump ordered hold on $400 military aid for Ukraine days before phone call pressuring President Zelensky to investigate Biden’s son. washingtonpost.com/national-secur… #Whistleblower #WhistleblowerComplaint #UkraineExtortion
OMB relayed Trump’s order to hold Ukraine’s military aid to State Dept & Pentagon in mid-July. Officials were instructed to tell lawmakers delays were part of “interagency process” & to give no additional info. Pattern continued for nearly 2 months, until the night of Sept. 11.
🚨Ukrainian President Zelensky told Senator Murphy “directly” that “the aid that was being cut off to Ukraine by the president was a consequence” of Zelensky’s unwillingness to launch investigation into the Bidens. #Whistleblower #WhistleblowerComplaint #Ukraine #UkraineScandal

⚠️🧵If WH releases Ukraine call transcript, beware gaslighting "the likes of which we've never seen." It's Putin's propaganda playbook: Endless confusion & division, turning reality on its head to make truth—& journalism—irrelevant. Clumsy b/c Trump. But it's already claimed GOP.
Watch this chilling BBC clip & you'll recognize Trump's Russian propaganda playbook: Putin made politics a bewildering constantly changing piece of theater to undermine the perception of reality. People can't tell what's true, don't believe their own eyes or journalists' facts./2
Constant shifts make even proven facts FEEL doubtful & confusing. Trump’s already shifted his story from denial to disinformation:
—"fake news story"
—“partisan” whistleblower
—"spy"
—Biden's the "real" story
Except it's not. It's a conspiracy theory smear, contrary to facts. /3

Trump pressed the leader of Ukraine to investigate Biden’s son in a call between the two leaders that is at the center of an extraordinary whistleblower complaint. This is 2016 redux with Trump and the Russians. He didn’t change his ways cuz he didn’t care washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
“Trump used the July 25 conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to pressure the recently elected leader to more aggressively pursue an investigation that Trump believed would deliver potential political dirt against one of the president’s political adversaries.”
“The call is part of a broader set of facts in the whistleblower complaint at the center of a showdown between the executive branch and Congress, with Trump refusing to divulge information about the substance of a report to the inspector general of the US intelligence community”

If this is about Trump telling Ukraine to investigate Biden using his position as VP to save his son from corruption charges

This may backfire on the Dems

It's a legitimate request to look at a flagrant abuse of state power by Biden
Biden forced Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was going to investigate the corrupt oligarch his son Hunter worked for by threatening to withhold $1B. Biden brags about it in this video,

If Trump was talking to #Ukraine about this real abuse
Biden is the one w/ a big problem
Trump has every right to ask a foreign leader to investigate corrupt actions of a former US VP

It would be wrong to let Biden slide because he is running for office again. His abuse of power previously is a matter that deserves investigation regardless

Amid a new House probe into whether Trump is w/holding aid to #Ukraine for its defense v. #Russia in exchange for fake “dirt” on Biden, check out @ViolaGienger’s deep dive.

Thread ...

“President Trump and his personal attorney appear to have increased pressure on the Ukrainian government and its justice system in service of President Trump’s reelection campaign." -- @RepEliotEngel @RepAdamSchiff @RepCummings in letters to WH & State.
.@violagienger notes "It was the widely known & publicly espoused position of the USG, across a half dozen agencies, that the prosecutor’s ouster was among crucial anti-corruption measures the Ukrainian government needed to take to move forward economically and politically."
