House GOP battleground poll finds opponents narrowly outnumber impeachment supporters

Internal polling from the House Republican campaign arm finds narrow opposition to impeachment across the key districts that will determine the balance of power in the House in 2020.
The National Republican Congressional Committee conducted a survey of registered voters in key House battlegrounds, and found that in Democratic-held target districts, 47 percent oppose impeachment, against 44 percent who support it. In GOP-held swing districts, 49 percent oppose impeachment and 46 percent support it.
The NRCC did not release the full polling data, but The Hill obtained a one-page summary authored by polling director Caitlin Reed.
The memo said that 63 percent of voters believe Democrats are “obsessed†with impeaching President Trump and should instead focus on issues such as lower prescription drug prices or overhauling the nation’s infrastructure.
The online survey of 800 voters in Republican-held or NRCC target districts was conducted between Sept. 28 and Sept. 30 and has a 3.46 percentage point margin of error.
