Freshman Democrats push for Justin Amash as an impeachment manager

A new poll from Fox News finds 50% of voters nationwide want President Trump impeached and removed from office, unchanged since a late-October poll. Another 4% say Trump should be impeached but not removed, and 41% oppose impeachment altogether.

Regardless of their views on impeachment, 53% of voters say Trump abused his power, 48% say he obstructed Congress and 45% say he committed bribery.

And 60% say it is generally wrong for Trump to ask leaders of foreign countries to investigate political rivals.

Registered voters are split over whether the Democrats in Congress are running the impeachment inquiry fairly, 45% say yes, 42% no.

The President’s approval rating in the poll stands at 45% approve to 53% disapprove, a slight improvement since October’s 42% approve to 57% disapprove split.

In the race for the Democratic nomination for president, the poll puts former Vice President Joe Biden clearly ahead at 30%, Sen. Bernie Sanders in second at 20%, Sen. Elizabeth Warren in third with 13%, Mayor of South Bend Pete Buttigieg lands at 7%, businessman Michael Bloomberg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar at 5% each, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and businessman Andrew Yang at 3% each and Sen. Cory Booker at 2%.

Looking ahead to the general election, hypothetical matchups show Biden, Sanders and Bloomberg each topping Trump by a significant margin, while Warren and Buttigieg each run about even with the president.
