The support for a possible House impeachment inquiry against President Biden is growing among the American public, with nearly a quarter of Democrats saying they would back such a move, a new poll has found.<\/p>\n
According to the NPR\/PBS NewsHour\/Marist poll released Wednesday, 49% of U.S. adults say they would support the House of Representatives officially launching an impeachment inquiry into Biden amid allegations of corruption within his family, compared to 48% who would not.<\/p>\n
That number is up from the same survey in October that found 47% supported such a move, and 52% would be opposed.<\/p>\n
An impeachment inquiry is most notably supported by 24% of adults identifying as Democrats, although a majority (74%) would still be opposed.<\/p>\n
The poll found that Biden\u2019s approval rating remains heavily underwater, with just 40% of adults approving of his job performance as president and 53% saying they did not approve.<\/p>\n
That number is weighed down heavily by those identifying as independents, with just 36% approving of his job performance and 59% disapproving.<\/p>\n
Despite being a traditionally reliable Democrat voting bloc, younger voters\u2019 views of Biden also appear to be dragging him down, as just 39% of Gen Z and Millennial voters approve of his job performance, and 50% disapprove.<\/p>\n
On favorability, Biden edges former President Donald Trump, the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, with 40% of adults saying they view Biden favorably compared to just 38% for Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Among registered voters, 49% said they would vote for Biden if the 2024 presidential election were held today and 48% said they would vote for Trump.<\/p>\n
Biden trails Trump among independent voters 45%-50%, but held a surprisingly slight edge among Gen Z and Millennial voters 52%-48%.<\/p>\n
The poll also asked about a number of hot-button policies, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, border security, abortion and gender.<\/p>\n
On funding for Ukraine amid its war with Russia and Israel for its war against Hamas, 36% said they oppose funding for either nation, and 32% said they support funding both. Sixteen percent said they support only funding Ukraine, and 15% only support funding for Israel.<\/p>\n
Half of Americans said they would not support allowing any Palestinian refugees from Gaza into the U.S., while 47% said they would support such a move.<\/p>\n
A majority of 54% support building a physical wall at the southern border and 45% said they do not.<\/p>\n
On transgender issues, a majority of Americans (59%) said they believed whether a person is a man or woman is determined by the gender they were assigned at birth, while 38% said a person can be a man or woman even if it wasn\u2019t the gender they were assigned at birth.<\/p>\n
When it came to abortion, most Americans (54%) said laws should be determined by individual states, rather than at the national level (43%).<\/p>\n
If a national law were in place, an overwhelming 84% said they would support exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, while 14% said they would support no exceptions.<\/p>\n
On limitations, 21% said abortion should never be allowed, 18% said it should only be allowed in the first six weeks of pregnancy, 21% only in the first 15 weeks, 13% in the first 24 weeks, and 25% said a woman should be able to get an abortion at any point during a pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n
