News Alert: A majority of Americans oppose impeachment, but a majority also say Trump lied to public, Post-ABC poll finds

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds a sharp partisan cleavage on the question of whether Congress should launch impeachment proceedings against President Trump in the wake of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the president sought to interfere with the probe.

Roughly 6 in 10 Democrats say they support the initiation of such an investigation in the House, while nearly 9 in 10 Republicans and about 6 in 10 independents are opposed.
