Democrats' impeachment unity is effectively growing within the party, as nearly 50% of Democrats now support impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
After just 30% of Democrats supported impeachment hearings a month ago, 48% of Democrats polled now do – proving impeachment talk is a partisan endeavor as a mere 6% of Republicans support impeachment hearings.
The Democrats' movement does move up the numbers of the entire voter base 10 percentage points, but that number still stands at a only 27% supporting impeachment hearings, according to the poll.
Most of that move comes from those who believe Congress should continue investigating for impeachment evidence, as that number fell 8 percentage points in the past month in the poll.
Unchanged is the 48% that believes Congress should move on and allow President Trump to finish out his first presidential term, per NBC News. That number was an overwhelming 86% among Republicans.
