Democrats get mixed ratings on handling of impeachment, but better than GOP — CBS News poll
Congressional Democrats get mixed — and heavily partisan — ratings on their handling of the impeachment inquiry, with 50% of Americans saying they have done a good job. Forty-eight percent said so in November. Just 19% say they've done a very good job. Congressional Democrats have an edge over Republicans and President Trump on their handling of impeachment, in our newest national CBS News poll.
Overall, 22% think the hearings have gone too fast, but Republicans are more likely to think this (37%).
A quarter of the country, 27%, think the Democrats have presented their arguments very clearly. Another 26% feel they've been presented somewhat clearly.
Overall, the country remains split along partisan lines on impeachment. And heading into a Senate trial, the public is also split over what the outcome ought to be, with some saying the Senate should not hold a trial at all.
Trump job approval
Forty-four percent say President Trump is doing a good job overall, and 56% say he is doing a bad job, and that hasn't moved much over the course of the impeachment hearings.
