Almost half of voters support Biden impeachment inquiry, poll shows

By the numbers: 48% of all voters surveyed said they support the current impeachment probe into the president surrounding "the business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, and other family members."

• Out of those voters, 36% of Democrats support Biden's impeachment inquiry, compared to 63% of Republicans.
• Nearly half of Independent voters said they support the inquiry, according to the poll.

Flashback: A smaller share of voters supported former President Trump's first impeachment proceedings compared to Biden's, according to previous Morning Consult polling.

• 37% of voters said "Congress should begin impeachment proceedings" toward then-President Trump to remove him from office, a 2019 POLITICO/Morning Consult poll found.
• Meanwhile, half of voters in that poll said Congress should not begin an impeachment into Trump, and 12% were undecided.
• Trump was acquitted in both impeachments, though he is the only president in U.S. history to be impeached twice.

Methodology: The poll surveyed 1,933 registered voters between Sept. 15-17 and had an unweighted margin of error of +/-2 percentage points.
