- 19% believe Trump should be neither impeached by the house or convicted by the Senate;
- 25% think Trump did nothing wrong;
- 32% said they made up their minds about impeaching Trump before the news broke about his July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy;
- 21% said they are following the hearings closely;
- 67% of those following the hearings closely think Trump’s actions were wrong and he should be impeached and removed from office;
