CNN Poll: 50% of Americans believe that Trump should be impeached *and* removed from office while 43% do not.

This matches their October poll and is the highest level of support for removal of any CNN poll.

Independents favor removal 47-45.

Women favor removal 61-34(!).

If you want to know why CNN's impeachment poll is exactly the same as before hearings:

Of those who favor removing Trump, 91% *strongly* feel that way.

Of those opposed to removal, 89% *strongly* feel that way.

Almost everyone's minds were made up before the hearings began.

CNN Poll:
-48% believe there's enough evidence to remove Trump, 47% disagree
-53% believe Trump improperly used presidency, 42% disagree
-56% believe Trump did it to benefit himself politically, 36% disagree
-40% believe Dems abusing power, 52% disagree

Pretty bad #s for Trump

CNN Poll: Trump job approval ticks up four net points from October to 42-54 (was 41-47).

This is Trump's best approval since June, but the improvement in approval has not translated to opposition to removing him from office.

Independents are fifteen points underwater at 40-55.

CNN Poll - Trump approval on the issues:

Economy 55-40
Immigration 39-58
Foreign Affairs 40-55
Budget 37-50
Trade 42-52

Most issues similar to last month, but his approval on the economy is at the highest level since April and will almost certainly be key to his 2020 chances.

CNN Poll: There is a *forty* point gender gap with regards to impeaching and removing Trump.

Men oppose impeachment 40-53 while women favor it 61-34.

That's a pretty stunning contrast.

CNN Poll: Overall support for impeaching/removing Trump is at 50-43, with support among reg voters is also high at 50-45.

The more enthusiastic about voting you are, the less you support impeachment:
Less enthusiastic: 52-40
Very enthusiastic: 53-45
Extremely enthusiastic: 48-49
