There’s a new Washington Post poll out today that says 58% of the country is in favor of the House’s impeachment inquiry of President Trump and that 49% want him removed from office:

If this were the case, wouldn’t the president’s approval rating be lower than it is now?
Nearly 1–in-5 Republicans support Trumps’s impeachment AND REMOVAL?
That is wild.
Not even *Joe Lieberman* supported Bill Clinton’s removal. https://t.co/lv7AlTOPKD
