1. We recently completed polling for @LawWorksAction on the Senate impeachment trial in six key states, including four with Republican senators in cycle (AZ, CO, ME, NC) and two with Democratic senators in cycle (MI, NH).
2. By 67% to 29%, voters in the six states want the Senate to conduct a full trial and carefully consider the evidence on both sides. This result is the same in the 4 GOP and the 2 Democratic states. 73% of Independents and 40% of Republicans want a full trial.
3. Seven-in-ten voters say the Senate should insist on seeing relevant documents and call witnesses who have so far refused to cooperate but who can provide direct, first-hand evidence about Trump's actions.
4. Three quarters of independent voters and half of all rank-and-file Republicans say the Senate should insist on documents and witnesses in the Senate trial.
5. We asked voters in AZ, CO, ME, and NC how they would feel if @MarthaMcSally @SenCoryGardner @SenatorCollins and @ThomTillis voted against calling any witnesses or subpoenaing any documents.

63% would be unfavorable, while only 26% would be favorable.
6. By 54%to 43%, voters reject the argument that the House impeachment of President Trump was a partisan witch hunt and the Senate should move quickly to find Trump innocent and acquit him of the charges against him.
7. On the other hand, fully 91% agree (81% strongly agree) that, "Senators must put country before party, listen to all the evidence and carefully consider the facts, and then do their duty to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law."
8. By opposing witnesses and documents that can provide first hand evidence about Trump's actions, Republican senators are burnishing an already pervasive feeling that they are motivated by politics rather than principle.
9. If the GOP senators vote to acquit, only 32% say it will be because they believe Trump did not commit an impeachable offense, while 54% say they are just following a party line. By contrast, the plurality in MI, NH say Peters/Shaheen are doing what they believe is right.
10. The survey was conducted December 26-30 by phone with a total 901 likely 2020 voters, with representative cross sections of ~150 in each state. Party ID of sample is 43% Democrat, 43% Republican.
