A crucial sliver of the electorate--7 percent of voters--fall into the "inquiry, not remove" camp. They're relatively young, independent, perhaps a hair cynical about politics, and less likely to follow the news very carefully
Voters who disapprove of the president split along lines of political engagement. The president's less engaged opponents aren't ready to remove the president
And in general, voters aren't necessarily sold that the president's conduct is wholly atypical for politicians, even if they think it's bad. Voters think the president's conduct is typical of what politicians do, rather than much worse than typical, by a 46-42 margin
