49% Say Anti-Trump Democrats Driven More By Hillary’s Loss Than Trump ‘Crimes’

Voters see little chance that Republicans will jump on the Democrats’ impeachment bandwagon. Most Democrats think that’s because of GOP party loyalty, but then most Republicans believe the impeachment is driven not by broken laws but by President Trump’s defeat of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 71% of Likely U.S. Voters think it’s unlikely that any congressional Republicans will vote to impeach the president, with 38% who say it’s Not At All Likely. Just 20% consider it likely any House GOP members will vote for Trump’s impeachment, and that includes only nine percent (9%) who say it’s Very Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted December 12 and 15, 2019 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
