The Biden impeachment inquiry has grown in support in recent weeks, with a notable level of Democrat backing in opinion polls.
Since former President Donald Trump was charged with inciting a mob in the attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Biden investigation is the latest political cause to come up for debate. On the one hand, the Democrats have been pushing for an impeachment inquiry, while the Republicans have been skeptical about the idea, citing the fact that Biden’s alleged actions are seen as lesser offenses in comparison to Trump’s.
However, the most recent polls show that the tide is turning, with public opinion seeming to sway in favor of an impeachment inquiry. A recent poll conducted by The Politico/Morning Consult survey, which polled 1,993 registered voters, found that 49% support the idea of impeaching Biden, with 40% saying they are opposed to it.
This shift in public opinion is largely fueled by a surge of support from the Democrats. The poll also found that 55% of Democrats favor starting an impeachment inquiry into Biden, up from 34% a few weeks prior.
The jump in Democrat backing is unexpected and remarkable for a party that unified to impeach former President Trump. To be sure, the Biden accusation still lacks solid and consistent evidence, and the impeachment inquiry could still go either way. However, it is clear that the Democrat’s support has been instrumental in the surge of public support for an inquiry.
Overall, it looks like the Biden impeachment inquiry is gaining traction as more Democrats begin to show their support. While the final result is far from certain as of yet, the Democrats’ backing has undeniably shown to have a significant impact on public opinion.
