November 5, 2019	National	Partisan Opinion on Trump Digs in 1. Do you approve or disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president? 4A. [If APPROVE of Trump] Can you think of anything that Trump could do, or fail to do, in his term as president that would make you disapprove of the job he is doing, or not? [n=401; moe = +/- 4.9%] 4B. [If DISAPPROVE of Trump] Can you think of anything Trump could do, other than resign, in his term as president that would make you approve of the job he is doing, or not? [n=467; moe = +/- 4.5%] 7. Do you think President Trump should be impeached and compelled to leave the Presidency, or not? 9. Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp” when he got to Washington. Would you say that he has made progress draining the swamp, that he has made the swamp worse, or that nothing has really changed? 10. Now that he’s been in office for more than two years, are you surprised by how Donald Trump has behaved as president or doesn’t his behavior really surprise you. [If “surprised”: Is that very or just somewhat surprised?] 15. Do you think it is a good idea or bad idea for the House of Representatives to conduct an impeachment inquiry into President Trump that may or may not lead to impeachment? 16.

Then, two-thirds of the Senate must agree with those articles in order to remove a sitting president. If the House does pass articles of impeachment, how likely is it that the Senate will actually vote to remove President Trump from office – very likely, somewhat likely, not too likely, or not at all likely? 17. Which of the following comes closest to how you feel about impeachment: A. Trump has not done anything wrong at all; B. Some of Trump’s actions may have been improper, but they do not rise to the level of impeachment; C. Trump’s actions should be looked into as possible impeachable offenses; or D. Trump’s actions are clearly grounds for impeachment? 18. Please tell me if you strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree with the following statement: If you want Trump out of office, it makes more sense to focus on next year’s election rather than go through an impeachment process now. 19. Have you heard anything about recent reports that Donald Trump asked the Ukrainian president to investigate Joe Biden and his son, or haven’t you heard about this? [If YES: Have you heard a lot or just a little?] 20.

Do you think other members of the Trump administration made any promises or put any pressure on the Ukrainian president in return for investigating Biden, such as giving or withholding aid, or did they not do this? 22. When Rudy Giuliani met with Ukrainian officials about the investigation, do you think he was representing the wishes of President Trump, or was he acting more on his own? 25. Do you think the Democrats in Congress are more interested in pursuing the facts wherever they might lead or more interested in finding ways to bring down President Trump? 26. Do you think the Republicans in Congress are more interested in pursuing the facts wherever they might lead or more interested in finding ways to defend President Trump?
